- has rubber tires and runs on a concrete road
- above a certain speed, magnets installed on the side walls of the road cause it to take off to a height of 10cm (4in)
- the train then makes the trip to the next station without any mechanical contact with the surrounding environment, aside from air, which is kind of hard to remove unless you put the whole railroad in a vacuum tube

The Morgantown PRT doesnt service all of Morgantown though, just some college campuses and parking lots.
PRT makes sense really just as a shuttle bus replacement, which is why you see it at airports.

it's like something out of a shitty scifi world designed by people who don't know anything about technology, but i don't mean that in a bad way necessarily. i've always wanted to see shitty scifi world ideas in real life.

There is a similar looking pod in Perugia, Italy, but it runs as a fixed route like a "real" metro system.
