Metrino-PRT (formerly MISTER PRT) is a new, innovative public transportation system for cities. Small (car size), fully automatic, driverless vehicles (pods) travel independently suspended under an overhead network of light guide- ways, 5 to 10m above street level.
Meeting Passenger Demand
All rides are on passenger demand. There are no timetables and no pre-defined routes. Pods are usually waiting for passengers at small stops along the network as well as shopping centers, offices, hotels, hospitals, schools, etc.
Pods are only for individual trips. They carry up to five people, usually acquainted, therefore providing absolute personal safety. All pods, stops and the route network are constantly monitored by security cameras.
Since there are more pods than average daily demand for them, passengers rarely have to wait except occasionally during peak periods. Only those pods carrying passengers (and some empty ones being relocated by the computer system) are in motion. If there is low demand, pods are always waiting at the stops.
Rides take place from any stop directly to your selected destination, without a break during the journey. They travel at an average speed of 50 km/h compared to 30 km/h for metro and 10-20 km/h for buses or trams.
Stops are off-line (like petrol stations along motorways). They do not obstruct the flow of traffic on the guideways.
Passengers enjoy a smooth ride in air conditioned comfort with multimedia services and elevated views.

• $3+ trillion market per year (Frost and Sullivan)
• says: "We need to have an eye towards PRT systems ..."
• Tony Seba, Lecturer Stanford University says: “We are on the cusp of the most
radical transformation in energy and transportation in a century”
