In contrast to other automated public transit systems, passengers arrive at their chosen destinations in small cabins. The passenger does not have to follow a timetable; instead, the vehicle waits for the passenger. This ideal situation depends on the capacity utilization of the entire system.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zatran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Masdar-City-PRT.jpg\" data-lbwps-width=\"1920\" data-lbwps-height=\"1280\" data-lbwps-srcsmall=\"https:\/\/www.zatran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Masdar-City-PRT-300x200.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zatran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Masdar-City-PRT.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zatran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Masdar-City-PRT-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.zatran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Masdar-City-PRT-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.zatran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Masdar-City-PRT-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 38vw, (max-width: 1920px) 38vw, 1024px\" width=\"40%\" title=\"Masdar City PRT\" alt=\"Masdar City PRT\"><\/a>The disadvantage of PRT is the <strong>substantial system complexity<\/strong> that arises when network applications will be used.
