It has been over fifteen years since the Morgantown PRT system went into passenger service. Its start was marked by cost overruns, high operating costs and poor reliability. However over time, these initial problems and difficulties have been overcome, and today the system provides an extremely important and reliable service that links downtown Morgantown with three campuses of Web Virginia University. It is still running. This paper provides background on the development of the system and current operating characteristics of this famous transit demonstration project.
