Out of curiosity, I google searched "personal rapid transit system." I recommend doing it yourself to see the wealth of opinions about the "feasibility" of such a system in the United States. The following links provides some interesting accounts of what a system would look like, cost, do, etc. The first link contains the most information--arguments and counterarguments regarding the PRT. The second link has some really cool videos, worth watching if you have a minute. The third link is an abstract about the PRT in Chicago mentioned at the end of Latour's book. Apparently, the "system found no market"there, but it is now "free" to seek investment capital and become commercial.
