Dual mode transit is any kindthe transit where a vehicles operate each public roads & in a guideway. Super typically a guideway occurs as specialised form of monorail. Examples include a [http://www.ruf.dk RUF] & [http://www.megarail.com/ Megarail]. Dual-mode transit should become in comparison personal rapid transit since they part several characteristics.
