My trouble with PRT is that it sacrifices the increasing returns to scale that
accrue to forms
of transit that carry more people. It is simply a fact that a vehicle that
carries a maximum
of four people cannot be as efficient as one that carries four.
Also for a system to be reasonable, it cannot drop PRT riders any closer to
home than
LRT or buses. Making PRT more convenient would require building a whopping rail
system, which would make a lot of neighborhoods less liveable.
