Hard to imagine how that could be done.

I know of him but not personally. He is highly regarded in the field.
He knows about
PRT for sure but, like Vucan, probably isn't up-to-date and his
objections are probably
not founded on any substantive knowledge.
For me, it's just another illustration of the damage that has been
done by "visionaries"
who think they need to present metro-wide networks to make their case
- not a good
strategy. A Rosemont-type increment was a far better strategy, IMHO.

Cute idea. Might actually have a chance since it leverages current infrastructure. Will obviously have the same problems as any other ground level automated system. --- On Tue, 3/31/09, Jerry Schneider <j...@peak.org> wrote: |
