Barbara--this site is about the Seattle Greenline Monorail. It is not about PRT. There is a sigificant difference in scale. A 3 to 4 passenger PRT vehicle requires a much smaller support structure than a light rail sized monorail train. There is much more difference here than apples to oranges. (I also thought it was funny that the "loss of trees" section showed before pictures in the summer--with leaves-- and the after pictures in the fall or winter--without leaves).
I find it interesting how PRT has generated a love-hate culture. Either you love it and can not see any of the flaws or you hate it and can not see any of the benefits. I am not necessarily a supporter of PRT--it is one of many options that should be considered. Lets try to stick with honest comparisons. sheldon .................................
