ARAMIS PRT SYSTEM

The ARAMIS system is an intermediate capacity transportation system. It provides, at the same time, a high traffic capacity (up to 15,000 passengers/hour/day) and a direct service capability. It is now developed jointly between MATRA and the Paris Metro Authority and the first commercial line will be in operation in late 1977 in the Paris suburbs. Its investment cost is moderate, due to the limited civil engineering required and the operating costs are in the range of the conventional subway.
