There's apparently a 'bit' of interest in this at Disney World. But they're kind of committed to a large bus fleet and their monorail system. (They really need to expand the monorail, IMHO, but it may cost too much.) This is fairly cheap, and would be visually impressive to boot. And isn't that what Disney is all about? (Well, aside from making money. But heck, charge a buck a ride for this and you'd likely pay off the entire system in a year.)

Looks a lot like the old "People Mover" system they used to have in Tomorrowland, only with fully enclosed cabs. I dunno about their suitability for urban mass transit, though. The condition of the average MARTA elevator springs to mind.

Apparently you can refuse a cab and send it to a maintenance shop - and they'd have a record of who last used it. That's one thing that MARTA doesn't have. (Along with janitors, but I digress.)
