Currently, the use of APM systems for mass transit continues to gain momentum with more than 100 installations worldwide carrying 3.5 million passengers a day safely and reliably. Topics include: airport APMs; public and private mass transit projects; urban development strategies; design and technical issues; safety issues; and alternative APM systems.
