Ed and others
Ed.  you are right.  Sky bus woirks well at many airports

Tampa, Seattle, Orlando, Denver, Atlanta, Pgh,San Francisco, Frankfurt, 
Miami

and the downtown people mover in Miami (expanded several times)

Westinghouse wanted Sky bus to create manufacturing jobs in Pgh.

In fact they did.  Plant is in West Miflin.  Ownership went from 
WElectric to
AEG Westinghouse to Adtrans to now Bombardier

They did bring jobs to Pgh
