    Who uses a measurement of meters per second!? At least use kph! Or for us backwards Americans, that's roughly 15 mph. Just, y'know, FYI.

    @LordGriffin:


    Its on metric system so its easy to convert. 7 m/s is 0.007 Km/s


    That sounds weird. These Arab guys are a bunch of smart blokes. Only in the UAE would find it viable to deploy a PRT system at such pokey speed. Isn't walking faster? My 2 year old nephew can race that PRT and WIN!


    Oh I forgot that place is a huge desert. On a PRT there is an AC and you don't have to walk. It also doubles as a theme park ride. yipee!!!!

    Ehh.. Unless your nephew is some sort of cheetah, I think you forgot to multiply by 3600... That would be 25.2 kph

    @Jonathan Nieuwland: maybe his nephew is a monkey

    instead of insulting Arabs, why dont u read something useful. and FYI, Abu Dhabi is not all desert, its one of the most beautiful and most organized cities in the world. and NO we dont ride camels and we dont have eagles flying over our heads

    @Jesus: Some of the FBs are ok and really make good contributions, etc, but you just notice the bad FB comments more. There are lots of ignorant or useless comments coming from those of us who are not FBs as well. (I make many myself.)
