USERS' OPINIONS OF PRT (CAB TRACK) SYSTEMS

DIE MEINUNG DER BENUTZER UEBER KABINENBAHNSYSTEM

The Federal German Ministry for Research and Technology commissioned a study by the Hamburg Hochbahn AG, the object of which was to determine the suitability of the PRT (Kabinenbahn) and its acceptance by the public. Approximately 20 to 35% of the public are critical for various reasons. Further technical development is recommended. On the question of the introduction of large or small passenger "cabins" or carriages, further individual evaluations are necessary. /TRRL/
