Awesome mode of transpo..




ULTra (Urban Light Transport) is a form of PRT (Personal Rapid Transit), which is a system of automatic driverless pods, that travel on their own guideway network. This means that instead of large groups of people having to wait for public transportation, that makes several stops; this pod transports a group of 4-6 people to their desired destination, without stops, and without a driver. The vehicle is eco friendly -powered by a battery with 2KW motive power. It is not available anywhere yet. Heathrow (United Kingdom) will be the first to experience it.
