Personal transportation system includes plurality of personal transportation vehicles (PTVs) driven on a track network with series of track sections. PTV main section has lateral width adapted to contain single occupant. PTV driving mechanism propels PTV and includes track engaging element protruding downwards from main section and having narrow lateral width such that main section is prone to fall over when PTV is at rest. The space between lateral width of main section and track engaging element can be occupied by public infrastructure. Each track section includes a ground portion, minimally adapted to accommodate track engaging element lateral width, and an empty space above ground portion, free of non-transient obstacles and minimally adapted to accommodate main section lateral width. A guidance mechanism guides PTV along track network and prevents PTV deviating from track sections. A stabilization mechanism stabilizes PTV along track network and prevents PTV from falling over when turning/merging/diverging.
