You mean like the Morgantown system at West Virginia University which has been in operation for over 40 years. Despite how effective such systems have been, the resistance to PRT's in the transit community is immense. This particular product is trying to circumvent public transit bias through ride hailing apps and use public streets to circumvent the infrastructure cost of guided throughfares. Heathrow has a PRT system too. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morgantown_Personal_Rapid_Transit en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ULTra_(rapid_transit)
