In 2010 the Dutch company 2getthere opened its first permanent Personal Rapid Transit (“PRT”) system to the public at Masdar City in the United Arab Emirates.  The city was designed from scratch as a friendly home for commercial and manufacturing facilities that specialise in environmentally friendly products.  The City’s design envisioned a perimeter wall allowing narrow and shaded streets and without cars to help cool the city.  2getthere has also developed it Group Rapid Transit (“GRT”) system.  Earlier this year Dubai committed to a GRT system to link its new waterfront living destination of Bluewaters with the city’s network of metro stations.  This matched that city’s objective of having 25% of its trips completed by automated systems by 2035.
