Greetings! The Bangalore, India PRT system has taken a significant step towards implementation with the recent approval of the city government. Now all that is needed is state approval - anticipated in a few weeks - and construction can begin. As noted in the story "Nod for pod, and a row" below, there is some opposition, despite which, the project is moving forward.
This is a significant project with some 70 kilometers (44 miles) of track and 43 stations. It connects local communities with two metro stations and an airport as well as hospitals and schools. If successful, it will be a game-changer for PRT. If not, it will be a major setback. I know the people involved - from Ultra and Fairwood - and believe they are taking a solid approach to the project.
