Some folks may be arriving to our site after reading Light Rail Now's contribution to the debate regarding Personal Rapid Transit (PRT). If you wish to read their article, you can find it at www.lightrailnow.org.

    We have four responses you can review below:
  1. J Edward Anderson, Ph. D., P.E.
  2. Bill Wilde
  3. Steve Anderson
  4. "Get There Fast" of Seattle

It´s lengthy reading, but any concerns that may have been raised by Light Rail Now´s limited understanding of PRT should be allayed.
