Although the smaller vehicle systems were not successful in the marketplace, larger AGT were simpler to integrate into existing mass transit systems. Many higher capacity AGT systems that looked and operated in a fashion similar to a [[Medium-capacity rail system|small subway]] have since become a common fixture of many existing metro systems, often as a way to serve outlying areas or as feeders to a metro system. [[Kobe]]'s [[Port Liner]] is the world's first mass transit AGT, which began operating in 1981. It connects Kobe's main rail station, [[Sannomiya Station]], with the dockyard areas and [[Kobe Airport]] to the south. Many similar systems have been built elsewhere in Japan. The ''[[Véhicule Automatique Léger]]'' (VAL) system in [[Lille]], [[France]], opened in 1983, is often cited as the first AGT installed to serve an existing urban area. Larger scale [[Bombardier Innovia Metro|INNOVIA advanced rapid transit]] (ART) systems in [[Scarborough RT|Toronto]], and [[Vancouver SkyTrain|Vancouver]] followed in the next few years, and then the [[Docklands Light Railway]] in [[London]]. VAL and ART systems have seen continued installations around the world such as in [[Airport Express (Beijing Subway)|Airport Express]] in Beijing and have been joined by a variety of new systems with similar features, like the [[AnsaldoBreda Driverless Metro]]. Automated monorail systems, such as the [[Bombardier Innovia|Innovia Monorail]] 200 system in [[Las Vegas Monorail|Las Vegas]], are becoming more common AGT systems. Monorails are less obtrusive because they only require a single, narrow guidebeam.
