The existing West Rail Line light rail transit (LRT) deployment in Denver, USA, is compared with the results that could reasonably have been expected had the deployment been accomplished using group rapid transit (GRT) or personal rapid transit (PRT) technology that is currently commercially available. In addition, results based on high-speed and capacity PRT (HSCPRT) technology, expected to be available soon, have been evaluated. All GRT, PRT, and HSCPRT solutions result in shorter trip times and higher ridership than the LRT system. With the PRT and HSCPRT systems the increased fare-box revenue is sufficient to cover operating and maintenance costs as well as amortized capital costs. In addition to attracting additional riders, the higher speeds of the HSCPRT system also result in relatively fewer vehicles being needed. The high capacity aspects of the HCPRT system are probably needed to serve the increased ridership.
