The WVU Personal Rapid Transit is one of the stranger urban transit systems on earth — a network of small automated electric pods running on elevated concrete guideways, connecting three stations between downtown and the Evansdale campus. It was built in 1975 as a demonstration project funded by the US Department of Transportation and was supposed to be the prototype for a new generation of American urban transit. That never happened, but Morgantown kept running theirs.
The pods hold around eight people, run on a fixed schedule, and the ride takes about eight minutes end to end. It's not fast, but the view from the guideway over downtown and the Monongahela is good, and the whole system has an appealing retrofuturist strangeness to it. Ride it at least once.
Stations are at Walnut Street (downtown), Beechurst Avenue, Engineering, Towers, and Evansdale. Free to ride with a WVU ID; a small fee for visitors. The system runs Monday through Friday during the academic year, with reduced service at other times.
