We present an innovative personal rapid transit technology compatible with current metro infrastructures, named OPTIMOTUS. The key of this technology is that passengers can travel without stops, thus multiplying several times the effective travel speed. In metro lines with shorter separation between stations (< 1000 m) and for long travels ( $\gt 5$ stations), passengers travel speed could be up to 3.5 times faster with OPTIMOTUS than with conventional metro trains. In addition, its implementation costs would be relatively low since the vehicles are designed to be compatible with current metro railways. However, there are still many open issues to be engineered before claiming the full viability of the technology.
