And if you look at the history of PRT systems, they haven't been terribly successful. It's not a new technology--it's 50 years old--and yet there are still so few examples of its employment.

I went to WVU where we have still actively use the PRT system built in the 70s. It's the school's main system of transport, and when it worked, it was pretty great. When I was there, it was infamously unreliable, but supposedly that's improved a lot lately. I do often miss it, and wonder why more places don't implement something similar.
