| personal rapid transit (elevated electric transit that delivers the convenience of an automobile without the pollution or congestion. The systems use what the Swedes call "pod cars" for the way they look: small and zippy, like Smart cars. But unlike Smart cars, the pod cars are computer-automated compartments propelled along a specially engineered guideway or track. PRT is driverless, on-demand and ecofriendly – in other words, a mass transit nirvana. wordfiend) | |||
