>>1388104These people just don't know shit, to the point of OP using a memest of people-movers to start a thread.
>>1387933> linear induction motors, but the one disadvantage is that the track has to be perfectly level.That's for these "cheap" conveyor setups, with the primary side on track. For higher capacity, vehicle-primary linear motor is used, as in Bombardier Innovia Metro linear systems, and Japanese Subway Association Mini-metro. (although for high-speed maglev, both the EMS Transrapid and EDS SCMaglev uses track-primary LSM)
>Other types of automated peoplemovers, however, are great transport optionsThat's the problem. Are we talking about "APM" (technically an autonomous bus can do that), "AGT" (technically a driverless/unattended steel-on-steel rail can be that), or these unconventional guideway systems? (I don't want to call them gadgetbahns)
Sometimes it's the technology limiting its usefulness yes, but most of the time proponents don't seem to know where, on what niches (as a big as the role could be) they should be used. They don't seem to work with the natural mainstay of steel railway more often.
About that, Paris Metro's Michelin rubber-tyred system is interesting for its addition of steel running rail. It enabled the conversion from steel railway, by allowing mixed traffic with steel-wheelers. Afterwards, it continues to serve as track circuit, and current return with electrically conducting skids.
