Through the congestion
The cable-drawn, automated personnel transports systems, or “Automated People Movers”, have been dubbed Cable Liners [1] and MiniMetros [2] by their developers. Their vehicles generally travel on elevated tracks, unimpeded by other traffic. They serve to quickly move passengers across short and medium distances. Previously known as connecting lines between terminals within an airport, they are now taking over urban areas.
