The energy consumption rates, or efficiency, of the urban passenger ground transportation modes are compared. In addition, the efficiency of new transit systems being developed including large- and small-vehicle PRT's and Dual Mode, are estimated. Various measures of actual and potential efficiency are used. On an average load basis, mass transit (transit bus and rapid rail) is from 2 to 3 times more efficient than the predominate personal modes (light truck and passenger car) and on a crush load basis, 4 times more efficient.
