Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) has bugged me for a while. It seems too good
to be true -- or at least, it's proponents present it as too good to be
true. It's ugly (elevated tracks in front of every building in town? Yeah,
no thanks). And it often seems to be a stalking horse for the auto
industry, much as buses were in the 1930s-1960s as privately operated rail
transit networks were bought up, run down, replaced with buses, and dumped
on the government.
