Wow... well this is big news in my small town

The City of Milpitas is proposing a "Personal Rapid Transportation" (PRT) for its residents. This will be a FREE service for residents and it will be paid for by donations, advertising and add-on services. There will be 2 phases if everything gets approved. The first phase will be a 5 station "mini-loop" around the Milpitas BART station, The Fields and Great Mall. If the first phase is successful, they will build out 7 additional stations around the area.

The mini-loop is estimated to cost $22.5mil and the 2nd phase will be an additional $37.5mil.

I am going to estimate that this will take 6-10 years for it to be built out. I hope this gets built out so people can easily go around The Fields future shopping center, Great Mall and BART easily.
