If you would install a TTA system in a city (having nothing to do with Disney) as a mass transport system, I think it could work quite well. It'd have to be in a larger scale, probably with enclosed cars, and maybe underground like a subway. But I think what could be beneficial is the constant stream of vehicles so there is a constantly moving line. The magnetic propusion system would probably be very reliable. If I remember correctly I think it's somewhere around 40% of the magnets on the TTA can fail and the cars will still run (not right next to each other obviously). It would be an interesting system to test in a small downtown area of some city, like the entertainment district of somewhere. (If anybody knows anything of Tampa, a TTA would be a cool alternative to their new streetcars)
