What Is Personal Rapid Transit Personal rapid transit (PRT), also known as podcars or guided/railed taxis, is a form of public transportation that utilizes small automated vehicles and operates them on a network of specially built guideways. Other names for this type of transportation include personal rapid transit (PRT) and guided/railed taxis. Automated guideway transit (AGT) is a kind of system that also comprises bigger vehicles and extends all the way down to smaller subway systems. PRT falls under the AGT category. When it comes to the paths that it takes, it leans more like personal public transportation systems.
