The Morgantown Personal Rapid Transit system threads its way through West Virginia University, taking thousands of people a day around the campus, non-stop. It's a system that was meant to be the future: so why isn't it?

Thanks to all the WVU Transportation and Parking team for helping with this video! You can find more about the project here: [ Ссылка ]

And the technical manual for the system is here, as a PDF: [ Ссылка ]



This video has an error: an interviewee from the university said that the “PRT never shuts down”. That's not true: it's had some reliability problems, and it's closed on University holidays and semester breaks. That line shouldn't have made the edit.
