ULTra Personal Rapid Transit

ULTra (Urban Light Transit) is a PRT (Personal Rapid Transit) PODCAR system developed by the British engineering company Ultra Global PRT. The first public system opened at Heathrow Airport, London in May 2011.
The Pods (which act like buses), drive on special guideways (which act like roads).

This pack includes:

• Two-way network: All elevations
  
• One-way network: Ground, Elevated, Bridge
  
• 2 Stations: Ground, Elevated
  
• Depot
  
• 3 Pod Vehicles: Plain (line coloured), Two-tone (line coloured), Polygon (line coloured)
  
• Pod Prop: Plain white

Everything in this pack can be accessed from a custom Personal Rapid Transit menu.

The networks are special-purpose guideways, and should only be used with the items in this pack. Do not connect them to your existing road network.

Use Improved Public Transport 2 or Transport Lines Manager to ensure that only the Pods spawn on these networks, and to ensure the Pods do not spawn on normal roads. If you allow them to spawn on normal roads they will cause traffic jams because they are slow.

Ensure the stations are placed on flat ground. Due to unforeseen game-related problems, you are only able to place one stop on each side of the elevated station, and one stop on the ground station. The stations are designed for right-hand-traffic, just like the real life system.

The small width of the networks might cause some game-related problems. This is because the in-game networks were never designed to be this thin.
It is highly recommended you use a theme which does not have grass sprites or use this mod to remove them, otherwise they may show through the guideways.
You may encounter some terrain issues while using these networks; the best thing do to if you have major problems is delete and redraw them.

Pod information:

Wherever possible, texture sharing is used. If you use Loading Screen Mod then it will improve your loading times significantly.

Heathrow Pod liveries can be found here.

Please give feedback in the comments section, and consider giving this asset a positive rating if you did enjoy using it.



Place depot and stations on flat ground.
Draw a closed network connecting the stations and the depot. Do not connect the guideways to regular roads. Use Fine Road Tool to toggle elevations.
Create a bus line that traverses the network.
Use either Improved Public Transport 2 or Transport Lines Manager to select which types of Pod you want to spawn from the depot.
The Pods will travel along the line, picking up and dropping off passengers at the stations, just like a regular bus would.
