List of operational ATN systems
Currently, five advanced transit networks (ATN) systems are operational, and several more are in the planning stage.[1]
| System | Manufacturer | Type | Locations | Guideway | Stations / vehicles | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Morgantown PRT | Boeing Vertol | GRT |
|
13.2 km (8.2 mi)[3] | 5[3] / 73[2] | Up to 20 passengers per vehicle, rides are not point-to-point during low usage periods[2] |
| ParkShuttle | 2getthere | GRT |
|
1.8 km (1.1 mi) | 5 / 6 | 3rd generation GRT (Group Rapid Transit) vehicles accommodate up to 24 passengers (12 seated). The vehicles operate on-schedule during peak hours, at a 2.5 minute interval, and operate on demand during off-peak hours with passengers summoning a vehicle by pressing a button on the platforms. The third generation of vehicles, introduced in 2021, is designed to allow extension of the route on to ordinary roads running in mixed traffic. |
| CyberCab | 2getthere[4] | PRT |
|
1.5 km (0.9 mi) | 2 / 20[5] | Initial plans called for automobiles to be banned, with PRT as the only powered intra-city transport[6] (along with an inter-city light rail line.[7] In October 2010 it was announced the PRT would not expand beyond the pilot scheme due to the cost of creating the undercroft to segregate the system from pedestrian traffic.[8][9] Plans now include electric cars and electric buses.[10] In June 2013 a representative of the builder 2getthere said the freight vehicles had not been put into service because they had not worked out how to get freight to and from the three freight stations.[11] |
| ULTra PRT | ULTra | PRT | *  London Heathrow Airport, United Kingdom (June 2011)
|
3.8 km (2.4 mi)[12] | 3 / 21 [13] | The Heathrow PRT system became operational in 2011, connecting Terminal 5 with a long-term car park.[14] In May 2014 BAA said in a draft 5-year plan that it would extend the system throughout the airport but this was dropped from the final plan. |
| SkyCube[15] | Vectus | PRT | *  Suncheon, South Korea (September 2013)[15]
|
4.64 km (2.9 mi)[16] | 2 / 40[15] | Connects the site of 2013 Suncheon Garden Expo Korea to a station in the wetlands "Buffer Area" next to the Suncheon Literature Museum;[17] the line runs parallel to the Suncheon-dong Stream.[18] Stations are "on-line." |
- GRT stands for Group Rapid Transit which use larger capacity vehicles. Morgantown PRT and the ParkShuttle are quasi-PRT system because they lack some PRT features such as 100% on-demand service.

| System | Manufacturer | Type | Locations | Guideway | Stations / vehicles | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ULTra PRT | ULTra Ultra-MTS | PRT | *  Chengdu Tianfu International Airport, China (due to open 2021)
|
4.8 km (3.0 mi)[19] | 4 / 22 [20] | In 2018 it was announced that a PRT system would be installed at the new Chengdu Tianfu International Airport to connect a remote car park to the terminals.[21] The airport opened in June 2021 but it as of July 2021 is not clear if the PRT has opened.[20] |
