Like peas in a pod... By Justine


 ULTra PRT pods at Heathrow Airport.

In September 2011, Heathrow Airport presented a new mode of transport: pollution-free, battery-operated personal transit pods. They journey between the terminals and the car parks every 34 seconds along tracks. Every pod contains four passengers with their luggage. Inside, a screen allows passengers to choose their destination.

It seems to me that this futuristic mode of transport presents numerous advantages. Indeed, it is faster than the bus and more ecologically-friendly. Undoubtedly, other airports will be interested in this system.
