==From development to implementation== Although many systems were generally considered failures, several APM systems developed by other groups have been much more successful. Lighter systems with shorter tracks are widely deployed at airports; the world's first airport people movers, the [[Tampa International Airport People Movers]], were installed in 1971 at [[Tampa International Airport]] in the [[United States]]. APMs have now become common at large airports and hospitals in the United States. Driverless metros have become common in Europe and parts of Asia. The economics of automated trains tend to reduce the scale so tied to "mass" transit (the largest operating expense is the driver's salary, which is only affordable if very large numbers of passengers are paying fares), so that small-scale installations are feasible{{Citation needed|date=October 2012}}. Thus cities normally thought of as too small to build a metro (e.g. [[Rennes]], [[Lausanne]], [[Brescia]], etc.) are now doing so. On September 30, 2006, the [[Peachliner]] in [[Komaki, Aichi|Komaki]], [[Aichi Prefecture]], Japan, became that nation's first people mover to cease operations.
