The Heathrow pod

Published on 15 Dec 2011 by Euronews - They call it the 'Heathrow pod', and it's a new way of getting around the urban jungle. Rather than waiting for a bus, business travellers just pop on a pod. Fraser Brown, the managing director of Ultra Global PRT said: "It's a PRT system, a personal rapid transit system. And what these vehicles do is they work autonomously on a guideway to take passengers here from the Business Car Park at Terminal 5 up to the main terminal building, ready for their flight."
