WVU Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) Antique to be "Modernized"

WVU Press Release:

“The PRT is proceeding with our long-term modernization program that will ensure the viability of the system,” Hendershot said. “These programs include replacing all of our old electronic systems, modernizing all of our communication systems and, like the electrical cable replacement program, upgrading the infrastructure of the PRT system.

Not only is the WVU PRT an antique, it doesn't even come close to the PRTista's definition of PRT (slim guideway, lightweight vehicles).
The PRTistas of ATRA will be allowed one last glimpse of the creaky, Nixon-era, antique boondoggle before it is overhauled.
Ken Avidor says "Personal Rapid Transit" is an anti-transit scam.
