Personal rapid transit

Here are entered works on public passenger transportation generally consisting of computerized, driverless vehicles, on a fixed guideway. Works on forms of public passenger transportation that are demand responsive, usually nonscheduled, and not necessarily operated on a fixed route are entered under the heading Paratransit services.
