Small scaled AGT systems are also known as people movers. Although the mass transit world showed a lack of interest, AGT systems quickly found a number of niche roles that they have continued to fill to this day. [[Tampa International Airport]] was the world's first to incorporate an AGT system as an inter-terminal connector in 1971. Its landside/airside set up allows the airport to increase capacity without spreading out. The [[LTV Airtrans]] was another early AGT systems which was installed at the [[Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport]] and went into operation in January 1975 (later replaced by the [[DFW Skylink]] system in 2005). Similar systems followed at airports around the world, and today they are relatively universal at larger airports, often connecting terminals with distant long-term parking lots. Similar systems were also a fixture of a number of amusement parks, notably the [[Walt Disney World Monorail System]] and the [[Toronto Zoo Domain Ride]]. The [[Getty Center]] in [[Los Angeles]] uses a unique vertically oriented AGT to bring visitors from a parking lot off [[Interstate 405 (California)|Interstate 405]] to the Center at the top of a hill in [[Brentwood, Los Angeles, California|Brentwood]]; this system places the motor outside the vehicle at the top of the guideway to reduce the weight lifted up the hill and thus improve efficiency.<ref name="cement">Portland Cement Association.

The city of Miami installed its [[Metromover]] system in 1986 and later extended it by 4.4 miles and added 12 new stations it in 1994. Similar [[Bombardier Innovia APM|INNOVIA APM 100]] systems operate in Singapore's [[Bukit Panjang LRT Line|Bukit Panjang]] district and in [[Zhujiang New Town Automated People Mover System|Guangzhou]], China.

Over time, the aerospace firms that had initially designed most of these systems left the industry and sold off the AGT divisions to other companies. Most of these were picked up by existing transportation conglomerates, and through additional mergers and buyouts, many of these are today owned by either [[Siemens]] or [[Bombardier Transportation|Bombardier]]. During the same period, a number of new companies entered the field with systems designed solely for these smaller installations. [[Poma]], [[DCC Doppelmayr Cable Car|Doppelmayr]] and the Leitner Group, better known for their [[ski lift]] systems, provide AGT systems for the airport market.
