Ok, so I know PRT (personal rapid transit) is considered a "gadget bahn" or whatever, but I really really like the idea of fully and completely pedestrianizing all roads (including residentials streets) with the exception of a bike lane, and PRT to get to you to the next tram/train station.

Like, if you're disabled, pregnant, tired, whatever, you can just get in a very small train car on rails that fits up to 5 people, and it takes you like 3 blocks to the tram station that will then take you to your next destination. I love the idea of PRT for the last mile, for people who can't/don't want to walk, bike, scooter, or rollerblade. Like, what if it's raining and your hair is on point and you forgot your umbrella at work? What if you broke your leg? What if you have a power wheelchair, but it's not charged, and you just need to get to the Albert Heijn a couple blocks away and back for some ingredient you forgot for dinner?

I know there's only a few instances of PRT around the world, but I really think that we should get cars out of residential areas entirely and just have several PRT cars that service your neighborhood. If there's like 4-5 and they all services like a 1-1.5km area, you'll never be waiting more than a few minutes, because they only ever do a few blocks, so they can only ever be a few blocks away.

If they were planned right, they could like, properly line up with trams and metros to reduce any requirement for walking at all.

Imagine getting rid of cars entirely on the streets. Imagine if we also had a few reserved for ambulance crews too?! It could be so great. :neutrain_bottom:

An Ultra PRT vehicle on a test track at Heathrow Airport, London. It's a very small white rounded train car that opens at the back for luggage and has two double doors on the side to let just a handful of people in. You can see someone in a high vis safety vest inside tinted doubledoor windows.another picture of a PRT car where someone is taking a bmx bike off the car, and you can see two people sitting inside.

As the #retirement industry evolves from guaranteed lifetime pension plans to 401(k)s, #PRT have become the linchpin connecting the past, present and future of #RetirementBenefits. (Free registration required.) buff.ly/3W7sxqe

@bookish re your it's bad, but not that bad. 1500 is Newfield's estimate of literature/languages T/TT faculty with good working conditions for research, 80000 is total higher ed lit/lang workforce. Humanities total is more than double that (numbers are scarce because, as CN is pointing out, no data is collected).

Bus p1 is great. The entire bus way could just be a metro one day, given enough budget.
