Masdar City PRT Personal Rapid Transit - Dubai
Videos | UAE | in Dubai | Revievs | Price | Luxury
Masdar City is a zero carbon city being built near Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. The plan for this city is to get rid of personal cars and use a PRT system located under the sidewalks for all transportation needs. Even cargo and deliveries are to be loaded on these pod cars to make it to the restaurant or facility. Right now Masdar City is still in its infancy so there are only two stations of this PRT system making it more like a horizontal elevator, but hopefully in the future there will be many stations located throughout the city with passengers making quick, non-stop journeys to any of these stations.

Arabs, don't you just love them!

It's easy to install systems like this when they're located in a place where they get sunlight THREE HUNDRED DAYS a year.

Pretty good. But significantly noisier than the system at Heathrow.

中東ならオイルマネーでなんとかなりそうですが、日本だと、少なくとも単年度黒字を計上しないと見捨てられそうですな～

I have used the Heathrow version on a number of occasions, but I feel Only a real test will come when they decide to roll this out as a bus line replacement in zero emission zones, the prt they are using in the driverless zones is just limited to 20mph and is mainly on pedestrian zones, I feel they need to double the speed make it mini bus sized must use dedicated lanes such as bus lanes but also be transitional to conventional roads if required etc and also have multi pickup zones that people can uber or man request on demand that way they can replace scheduled bus lines with low demand or supplement existing lines ideally I hope an ev bus sized prt comes online soon for an Oxford street replacement service
