100 Percent Usable Capacity

All PRT vehicles will be bike accessible and the system is designed to supply a stream of available vehicles to the stations. With a PRT system, there is no possibility of waiting for a transit vehicle only to find that the bike rack or storage space is full, necessitating another wait for the next vehicle, which could be full as well.

Reduced Competition for Roadway Space

PRT has the potential to make a noticeable dent in Austin's traffic congestion, with some studies showing as much as 35% of trips being replaced by PRT. A dense PRT system will reduce the resistance to building dedicated bike lanes on Austin roadways by moving a significant portion of travelers out of automobiles and into public transit.

Reduced Parking Requirements

With more attractive transit, fewer automobiles will need to be parked in the urban core, reducing resistance to using space for cycling facilities.

More Attractive Biking Environment

Austin's current cycling environment can be a challenge when dealing with crowded roadways, bridges and hills. A PRT system with hundreds of stations will allow novice or casual cyclists to avoid the worst sections of their route by using the PRT system to avoid these obstacles.

Fares Charged by Distance, Not by Boarding

PRT systems will likely charge fares based on the distance the passenger travels, instead of using the current transit strategy of charging a flat rate per boarding. So users that need to only travel a short distance, (like a cyclist who just wants to cross a bad stretch of roadway or travel to the bikeway without competing with cars), will be charged less than the commuter who users the system for their entire journey.
