Personal Rapid Transit System





Manila should have this:

ULTra is a battery-driven, 100-mpg-equivalent, elevated personal rapid transit system with many four-person vehicles. The first deployment is scheduled for London Heathrow Airport in Spring 2009, which serves Heathrow's new Terminal 5. 

Working as circulator transit for office parks, airports, universities, and other major activity centers, ULTra is faster than a car. In these applications, ULTra makes carpooling and conventional transit more effective, by solving the "last mile problem."
