The Heathrow PODs (formally the ULTra) is an autonomous personal rapid transit (PRT) system installed at Heathrow's Terminal 5 to connect the main terminal to the business car parks A and B. This kind of personal rapid transit is unique to the UK, and certainly very fun to travel on.
It opened in 2011 after many delays, and has an impressive 99% reliability and the average wait time is just 10 seconds.
Join me in this video where we travel from Business Parking Station A to Heathrow Terminal 5's main building on a lovely sunny day. This has to be one of the coolest transit systems I've ever travelled on.
