Morgantown Personal Rapid Transit

Morgantown, WV

Morgantown's Personal Rapid Transit system is a 1970s federal transportation experiment that became a permanent part of West Virginia University. Small automated cars move riders between stations on a dedicated guideway, making the system itself an unusual piece of living transportation history; rides follow WVU's current operating schedule.
