EcoPRT represents a new and revolutionary way to think about transportation in urban and suburban environments. The Big Idea behind EcoPRT is to take the PRT concept two steps further:
1. First, the EcoPrt ethos is to shrink and lighten both vehicles and guideway as much as possible, both to save space and to eliminate unneeded costs.
2. These reductions yield 2-person EcoPRT vehicles that weigh
