There's been a good deal of news of late concerning Vectus PRT -- the announcement of finalists for the first Swedish podcar project, and POSCO's first agreement on a project in South Korea. So I figured it's time you pro-PRT debunkers out there had another visual teaching tool: the difference between Vectus and Raytheon guideways.

POSCO Vectus | Raytheon PRT2000 |

Here's a couple of photos to complete the comparison. The first shows the Swedish Rail Administration's traveling podcar exhibit -- see how small the guideway looks next to the cameraman in the foreground?
And then we come back to Raytheon -- the Marlborough, Massachusetts, test track. I've helpfully added a six-foot figure standing next to the support post.

His middle initial must be "W"
Why does he hate Shakespeare?
