Remember this MPR story?

Rep. Mark Olson, R-Big Lake, has strongly opposed light rail and commuter rail, but he likes personal rapid transit.

"It is the only fully automated, fully mass produceable, individualized, nonstop, to your destination, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, public transit system of its kind in the world," he says.

Olson was able to get $4 million for PRT in the House bill that would authorize state borrowing for construction projects. The money in the so-called bonding bill would go toward a $24 million building to test the concept.
