Personal Rapid Transit Vehicle Cleanliness and Vandalism |
| Concern: | Won't the small vehicles quickly become dirty? What happens if someone has been ill in a vehicle? What if the vehicle has been vandalized? |

| Reply: | This is a major difference between PRT and traditional, large-vehicle transit systems. While all transit systems face challenges with litter, debris, and vandalism, a PRT rider is never forced to ride in a vehicle they find unacceptabe. If the vehicle being boarded is unacceptable, for any reason, the patron presses the service button at the vehicle berth and informs the system operator. The vehicle is then commanded to proceed directly to the system's service facility while the rider takes the next vehicle in line. |
