Mark and others

I rode the first people mover in Jacksonville, a shuttle VAL system
The manufacturer (VAL) and the transit system did not get along
They removed the VAL system and opted for an expanded Bombardier
small monorail.

Morgantown is different.  Its a Boeing system of small cars.  It still
runs and is due for a 30 year update of the computer, etc.  It is not
a monorail.  small rubber tired cars..  I last rode it 5 years ago.

Morgantown carries lots of students.  It replaced a 25 bus system
