In an effort to gain better understanding of the role of APM (automated people mover) in an intermodal guideway transit system settings, the SkyTrain in Vancouver, Canada, the VAL system in Lille, France, and the Metromover system in Miami, U.S. have been studied. The Vancouver SkyTrain has very user-friendly intermodal connections. These includes connections with the marine transit, SeaBus at Waterfront Station and the bus transit at nearly all 20 stations. In Lille, 22 of the VAL system's 34 stations have connections with one or a combination of bus, tram routes, and SNCF railway. The successful integration of Miami's Metromover with the rail transit (Metrorail) and commuter rail (Tri-Rail) systems is also discussed. The factors influencing successful implementation of the intermodal guideway transit system in Lille, Vancouver and Miami have been analyzed in detail.
