List of operational ATN systems

Currently, five advanced transit networks (ATN) systems are operational, and several more are in the planning stage.[1]

System Manufacturer Type Locations Guideway Stations / vehicles Notes
Morgantown PRT Boeing PRT 13.2 km (8.2 mi)[3] 5[3] / 73[2] Up to 20 passengers per vehicle, some rides not point-to-point during low usage periods[2]
ParkShuttle 2getthere[4] GRT
  • NetherlandsSchiphol Airport, the Netherlands (October 1997 – May 2004)
  • NetherlandsRivium I, the Netherlands (February 1999)

CyberCab 2getthere[4] PRT 1.5 km (0.9 mi) 2 passenger, 3 freight / 10 passenger, 3 freight [5] Initial plans called for automobiles to be banned, with PRT as the only powered intra-city transport[6] (along with an inter-city light rail line[7]) In October 2010 it was announced the PRT would not expand beyond the pilot scheme due the cost of creating the undercroft to segregate the system from pedestrian traffic.[8][9] Plans now include electric cars and electric buses.[10] In June 2013 a representative of the builder 2getthere said the freight vehicles had still not been put into service because they had not worked out how to get freight to and from the stations.[11]
ULTra PRT ULTra PRT 3.8 km (2.4 mi)[12] 3 / 21[13] The Heathrow PRT system became operational in 2011, connecting Terminal 5 with a long-term car park.[14] In May 2014 BAA said in a draft 5-year plan that it would extend the system throughout the airport but this was dropped from the final plan.
Vectus[15] Vectus PRT 4.64 km (2.9 mi)[16] 2 / 40[15] Connects the site of 2013 Suncheon Garden Expo Korea to a station in the wetlands “Buffer Area” next to the Suncheon Literature Museum;[17] the line runs parallel to the Suncheon-dong Stream.[18] Stations are "on-line."

* Morgantown PRT is known as a quasi-PRT system, because it lacks some PRT features such as 100% on-demand service.

* Vectus is now part of 'Posco ICT'[53]

* CabinTaxi is not undergoing further development but a US firm holds rights to the patents and is marketing the system.

* Vehicles in "dual mode" systems can use the specialized guideway or ordinary roads.

* Innotrans say they have abandoned work on the SporTaxi design and have entered a partnership with Taxi 2000.
