Follov/ing is a brief description of each category. SLT is the simplest form of AGT where the vehicles * or vehicle trains move along fixed routes with little or no switching. In a shuttle system, vehicles move back and forth along a short single lane guideway with possibly a bypass section to permit bi-directional vehicle flow. A loop system features a closed single lane path. SLT stations are normally on-line permitting either all-stop or demand-stop service. The vehicle capacity can vary greatly from less than 20 to over 100 passengers with accommodations for a large per- centage of standees
