Greetings! yet another PRT startup (Otto Bahn) has come to my attention. This one seems not to understand the need for vehicle-mounted switching and off-line stations. It will be interesting to follow their progress.

Best wishes for the Holiday Season and the New Year! To quote Catie Burke, I hope you "stay safe, be positive and test negative".

As always, enjoy reading!

Best regards,

Peter Muller, ATRA President
