Another PRT Puff Piece

The publicity barage continues. This puff piece in CNN Money.com reads like it's transcribed from the same press release as the others.

I thought this was interesting:

So why aren't cities already filled with PRT tracks and pods? "The real problem was political, not technical," recalls John Edward Anderson, a former professor at Boston University who has worked on PRT for almost 40 years. Chicago, Minneapolis, and Seattle killed PRT projects, fearing opposition from transit drivers and the embarrassment of failing with an untested system.

So, Anderson isn't saying he was a professor at the U of M anymore?

Anderson forgets a few more things. He fails to mention Raytheon going way over budget, that he was sued by his own company, that he picked three of worst politicians in Minnesota to lobby for Taxi 2000... maybe he's going senile?
