⁴ᴷ⁶⁰ Front Window View - The Scenic Morgantown PRT System in West Virginia!

Take a ride through one of the most unique transit systems in the world with this full-length, front window journey aboard the Morgantown Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) in Morgantown, West Virginia. This front window view follows the automated guideway through the campus buildings, hillside neighborhoods, and elevated sections that connect the various parts of West Virginia University and downtown Morgantown. This video shows a view of the full ride, in both directions, of the entire system, from Walnut to HSC and back; a pseudo-express service!

🛤️ About the Morgantown PRT:
The Morgantown PRT is a pioneering example of automated transit technology that began service in 1975. Developed through a partnership between West Virginia University, the U.S. Department of Transportation, and Boeing, it was one of the first systems in the world to operate fully automatically with on-demand, point-to-point service as a classical "PRT" (Personal Rapid Transit) system. The system connects five stations across a 3.6-mile route, carrying thousands of students and residents each day.

Unlike a traditional metro or light rail system, the PRT uses small, rubber-tired vehicles that run on a dedicated concrete guideway. Riders select their destination when entering the platform, and vehicles automatically route themselves to the correct station. Decades after its introduction, the Morgantown PRT remains one of the few functioning examples of this early vision of “personal rapid transit.”
