This is a kind of light rail. The main difference is the smallish size and high speeds. It'll be interesting to see how it works out.

- JTbane 8y agoMusk's loop is not on rails though- it's some kind of guideway transit. Personal rapid transit has been tried before and can face capacity problems when compared to light rail.
- greglindahl 8y agoA little googling says that there are a lot of guideway systems called "light rail". Are guideways somehow immature compared to actual rail systems? I've ridden on a ton of each in airports, they seemed to work the same from an end-user perspective.
