==AGT renaissance==
Once limited to larger airports and a small number of metro systems, AGT have undergone something of a renaissance since the late 1990s. Lower capital costs compared to conventional metros have allowed AGT systems to expand quickly, and many of these "small" systems now rival their larger counterparts in any measure. For instance, the [[Vancouver SkyTrain]] started operations in 1986, but has expanded so rapidly that its track length roughly matches the [[Toronto subway]] which pre-dates it by 30 years.

Although the original introduction of PRT systems did not result in the widespread adoption as expected, [[Morgantown Personal Rapid Transit]] in West Virginia's success, along with a renewed interest in new forms of transit, has led to several new PRT projects since 2000. [[London Heathrow Airport]] has installed a PRT system, known as [[ULTra]], to connect Terminal 5 with the long-term carpark; its full operation began in September 2011.
