| "Personal Rapid Transit" PRT in Dubai |
| 10.22.05 (10:06 am) [edit] |
Well, sort of...
Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), in United Arab Emirates, is expected to issue in November a tender for a contract to design and build a personal rapid transit (PRT) system within the complex. Once completed, the 1.2-kilometre-long network will be the first fully-functioning commercial application of a PRT system anywhere in the world. http://advancedtransit.org/do...
A 1.2 kilometer "network" (yawn).
Sounds like it's inside the complex... they won't have to worry about the lack of air conditioning in the pods. If it was outside in the scorching desert sun, they'd have to pay extra to have them installed :
"The [ULTra] vehicles can be adapted to accept heating or air conditioning for extreme climates."

Bonehead:
The reporter got it wrong, the DIFC itself is 1.2 km wide.

"Sounds like it's inside the complex"
You are a silly, silly, pedantic man.
