Whatever their end game is, the new setup is the worst of both worlds.

A recent flyer said that they were told that the company making (or maybe servicing) the carts they were using is out of business, making repairs, maintenance and replacements a problem. They were told the golf carts are it for now, and eventually they'll yank out the whole track.
The existing moving walkways are down for repairs all the time, so hopefully those get replaced. I flew quite a bit last year and it was very rare that the carts were faster than the walkways, even on longer jaunts between A and C/D.
