I take a quick ride on the People-Mover linking Pisa Centrale and Pisa Airport.

As a transport analyst I really appreciate your videos of rail transport. The people mover appears to have rubber tyres running on the metal plates like part of the Paris metro that has really tight curves. I note it its cable drawn like an old fashioned tram. The walking distance between station and airport terminal is upto a mile (1600 m) depending on the route, but could be reduced to 1100 m if appropriate access arrangements were made at the station (which would improve local access.

This system is nice. But it replaces a regular trainservice that gave direct connection to more stations and was much, much cheaper. An example of innovation that, sadly, a lot of users did not experience as an improvement.

Technology Connections has some really good videos on peoplemovers in the US.

The cable car route is 1800 m. It also serves a parking station 700 metres from the station end of the route.

This looks like a larger version of the shuttle in Milan, between Cascina Gobba and Ospedale San Rafaelle. I rode that shuttle on 29th April 2001, almost twenty years ago.

Pisa airport might have been the worst airport i've flown out of so far. But getting there was pretty fun on this little cart. They really need a new design person though as it still reads as pis mover to me.

It's a bit like one we have at our airport in Toronto, except each train is on its own track.
-
Reminds me of the Birmingham cable pulled thing from the airport to Birmingham Airport train station. But this confuses me immensely. I've flown into Pisa airport and I recall there was a real train station there. I took a real train from the airport to Florence from it. I don't recall seeing this and I don't understand why they would have something like this if they have a train station there. Did they rip out the train station for this?
-
Aren't they building a similar thing at Luton to connect Luton Airport parkway train station to the airport and replace the shuttle bus
-
This airport shuttle only goes for less than 2 km and it is 5 EUR / adult person. You'r better off taking the taxi. You can go to the other side od the Pisa for about 15 EUR. If your are at least two adult persons it is a no brainer.

Has anyone ever said you sound a lot like lando norris

The Pis Mover very funny name
-
This reminds me of the Parry People Movers that run between the two Stourbridge stations Stourbridge Junction and Stourbridge Town Have you been on that short line in the West Midlands?
-
Cool! Have you tried the Venice people mover? It’s fairly similar. I love an unusual railway me!
-
That is a curious little system. It kind of reminds me of the pods at Heathrow or the Berlin M-Bahn.
-
I noticed the "MiniMetro" branding on the front of the train. Is that an ad for the game?
-
When was this filmed just wondering as the station seemed fairly empty
-
Does this technically make it a funicular due to it being cable hauled?
