Professor Vukan Vuchic:
"In a major speech
which I presented at a conference of the German Association of Transit Agencies
in Frankfurt, Germany, when they also had a federally sponsored program
to develop PRT (Kabinenbahn), I said that the PRT concept combines the features
of the automobile (small vehicles, personalized travel) and rapid transit
(expensive guideways and automated control which are economically feasible
only for high volumes). This is as realistic as crossing a sow and a centipede
to obtain 100 hams!"
