PRT is a great technology. I think it's a step in the right direction, away from cars and buses. When I first learned about the volume of people it can transport I was surprised.

There is work being done at North Carolina State University by some great minds to make this technology a reality. (I have no affiliation with this effort, I'm just aware of it)

Cities, business with parking decks or lots, universities, and lots of other things can benefit from this. It doesn't have to be a large scale effort right away.

Check out the simulations the EcoPRT guys have done: http://ecoprt.com/simulations/

I'm excited to see more people thinking about this problem!
