Sorry, folks to jump back to an earlier post. I haven't been following this thread recently because I've been on work travel. However, being a geek that I am about airlines and also surface transport, I noticed these posts and then saw a reference on Wikipedia, claiming that Tampa International Airport has the first automated monorail system operating at a U.S. airport. See this link:

The Tampa system started in 1991 but is driverless and claims to be running as a monorail system. I have not been on the Tampa system yet but I have been on the WEDway system at IAH (aka Inter-Terminal Train). Isn't the IAH system running on rubber tires?
