Personal Rapid Transit [“My Pod,” the Rakish Angle, April; Letters, May] has an essential role to play in the transit mix. In Europe today there are several PRT systems in development, including an EU-funded collaborative effort called MAIT. The EU is also exploring the feasibility of installing the Welsh system, Ultra, in four European cities. Minnesota is lucky to be home to Taxi 2000, an internationally recognized, leading PRT developer. We have the resources, the tools, and the know-how to build a world-class transit system that would be most people’s first mobility choice. Why not avail ourselves of these assets?
