Duke University Medical Center Patient Rapid Transit

The 0.25-mile (<400 m) section between Duke South and Duke North was closed permanently on October 15, 2008, to allow for expansion of the hospital buildings. The remaining section connecting Duke Parking Garage II with Duke North Hospital was closed between late 2008 and early 2009. The doorway for the station at Parking Garage II was permanently boarded up and turned into a wall. The leftover tracks and infrastructure have since been largely removed to make way for new construction. ==Technology==

The Hovair technology has been installed around the world. Later variants have used the same air-cushion technology, but propelled the vehicles by wire cable, such as the Getty Center Tram at the Getty Center in Los Angeles. ==References==
