[edit] Merger proposal (with People mover)

It has been suggested that this article be merged into People mover.

[edit] For

1. Proposed because they are basically the same thing. -- Booksworm 21 November 2006 (UTC) (transcribed from history)

[edit] Against

1. They are not basically the same thing. The term people mover describes an application of transit technology; as the article itself says the term does not imply any particular technology, and a people mover may use technologies such as monorail, duorail, automated guideway transit or maglev. Whilst automated guideway technology is a specific piece of technology, in which rubber-tired vehicles are guided, usually by horizontally running guide wheels, on a guideway. Not all AGTs are people movers; not all people movers are AGTs. -- Chris j wood 12:13, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Conclusion

The suggestion for page merge failed, as it failed to achieve a consensus in two weeks. -- Chris j wood 12:55, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
