===Later developments===
In 1999 the 2getthere designed [[ParkShuttle]] system was opened in the Kralingen neighbourhood of eastern Rotterdam using 12-seater driverless buses. The system was extended in 2005 and new second-generation vehicles introduced to serve five stations over {{convert|1.8|km|mi}} with five grade crossings over ordinary roads. Operation is scheduled in peak periods and on demand at other times.<ref>{{cite web|title=RIVIUM GRT|url=https://www.2getthere.eu/projects/rivium-grt/|publisher=2getthere|access-date=1 September 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170310200020/http://www.2getthere.eu/projects/rivium-grt/|archive-date=2017-03-10|url-status=dead}}</ref> In 2002, 2getthere operated twenty five 4-passenger "CyberCabs" at Holland's 2002 [[Floriade (Netherlands)|Floriade]] horticultural exhibition.  These transported passengers along a track spiraling up to the summit of Big Spotters Hill. The track was approximately {{convert|600|m|ft|0|adj=on}} long (one-way) and featured only two stations. The six-month operation was intended to research the public acceptance of PRT-like systems.

In 2010 a 10-vehicle (four seats each), two station 2getthere system was opened to connect a parking lot to the main area at [[Masdar City]], UAE.  The systems runs in an undercroft beneath the city and was supposed to be a pilot project for a much larger network, which would also have included transport of freight. Expansion of the system was cancelled just after the pilot scheme opened due to the cost of constructing the undercroft and since then other electric vehicles have been proposed.<ref name="whymasdarscaleback">{{cite web|title= Why Has Masdar Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) Been Scaled Back?|url= http://www.prtconsulting.com/blog/index.php/2010/10/16/why-has-masdar-personal-rapid-transit-prt-been-scaled-back/|url-status= dead|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20131213234856/http://www.prtconsulting.com/blog/index.php/2010/10/16/why-has-masdar-personal-rapid-transit-prt-been-scaled-back/|archive-date= 2013-12-13}}</ref>

In January 2003, the prototype [[ULTra (rapid transit)|ULTra]] ("Urban Light Transport") system in [[Cardiff]], Wales, was certified to carry passengers by the UK Railway Inspectorate on a {{convert|1|km|mi|1|abbr=on|adj=on}} test track. ULTra was selected in October 2005 by [[BAA plc]] for London's [[Heathrow Airport]].<ref>[http://www.heathrowairport.com/portal/controller/dispatcher.jsp?CiID=724474cd82a07010VgnVCM10000036821c0a____&CtID=a22889d8759a0010VgnVCM200000357e120a____&Ct=B2C_CT_PRESS_RELEASE&ChPath=Corporate^Media%20Centre^News%20Releases^Results "BAA signs agreement to develop innovative transport system"] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090211201500/http://www.heathrowairport.com/portal/controller/dispatcher.jsp?CiID=724474cd82a07010VgnVCM10000036821c0a____&CtID=a22889d8759a0010VgnVCM200000357e120a____&Ct=B2C_CT_PRESS_RELEASE&ChPath=Corporate%5EMedia%20Centre%5ENews%20Releases%5EResults |date=2009-02-11 }} BAA plc Press Release - 20 October 2005</ref> Since May 2011 a three-station system has been open to the public, transporting passengers from a remote parking lot to terminal 5.<ref name="HeathrowBAA" /> During the deployment of the system the owners of Heathrow became owners of the UltrPRT design.  In May 2013 Heathrow Airport Limited included in its draft five-year (2014–2019) master plan a scheme to use the PRT system to connect terminal 2 and terminal 3 to their respective business car parks. The proposal was not included in the final plan due to spending priority given to other capital projects and has been deferred.<ref>{{cite journal| title=My Pods| journal=Futureairports| volume=2014| issue=1| pages=61| url=http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/b0ecc6ab#/b0ecc6ab/1| access-date=8 September 2014}}</ref> If a third runway is constructed at Heathrow will destroy the existing system, which will be built over, will be replaced by another PRT.

In June 2006, a Korean/Swedish consortium, Vectus Ltd, started constructing a {{convert|400|m|ft|0|adj=on|abbr=on}} test track in [[Uppsala]], Sweden.<ref>{{cite web | year = 2006 | url = http://kinetic.seattle.wa.us/nxtlevel/prt/vectusnews.html | title = Vectus News | publisher = Vectus Ltd. | access-date = 31 December 2007 | url-status = dead | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070929083346/http://kinetic.seattle.wa.us/nxtlevel/prt/vectusnews.html | archive-date = 29 September 2007 }}</ref> This test system was presented at the 2007 PodCar City conference in Uppsala.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20080724111201/http://www.podcar.org/uppsalaconference/confrencevectus.htm Podcar City Vectus Shows] from podcar.org</ref>  A 40-vehicle, 2-station, {{convert|4.46|km|mi|1|abbr=on}} system called "SkyCube" was opened in [[Suncheon]], South Korea, in April 2014.<ref>{{cite web| title=Korea's First Personal Rapid Transit (PRT), SkyCube| url=http://globalblog.posco.com/koreas-first-personal-rapid-transit-prt-skycube/| date=April 30, 2014| access-date=September 8, 2014| archive-date=September 8, 2014| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140908132929/http://globalblog.posco.com/koreas-first-personal-rapid-transit-prt-skycube/| url-status=dead}}</ref>

In the 2010s the Mexican [[Western Institute of Technology and Higher Education]] began research into project LINT ("Lean Intelligent Network Transportation") and built a 1/12 operational scale model.<ref>{{cite web|title=Proyecto LINT|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7L7zuB-tMU| archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211211/r7L7zuB-tMU| archive-date=2021-12-11 | url-status=live|website=YouTube| date=26 January 2011 |publisher=ITESO Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Occidente|access-date=30 August 2017}}{{cbignore}}</ref> This was further developed and became the Modutram<ref>[http://www.modutram.com/ Modutram]</ref> system and a full-scale test track was built in [[Guadalajara]], which was operational by 2014.<ref>{{cite web|title=ModuTram Test Track|date=19 February 2014|url=http://www.advancedtransit.org/library/news/modutram-test-track/|publisher=Advanced Transit Association|access-date=30 August 2017}}</ref>

In 2018 it was announced that a PRT system would be installed at the new [[Chengdu Tianfu International Airport]].<ref name="jqknews.com"/>  The system will include 6 miles of guideway, 4 stations, 22 pods and will connect airport parking to two terminal buildings.  It is supplied by Ultra MTS.   The airport is due to open in 2021.<ref>{{cite web |title=Chengdu Tianfu International Airport PRT System |url=https://myemail.constantcontact.com/Chengdu-Tianfu-International-Airport-PRT-System.html?soid=1102621083285&aid=rcfapCSHK4I |website=ATRA Pulse |publisher=ATRA |access-date=10 June 2021}}</ref>
