Since I'm now in Osaka, today I took the Sanyo Shinkansen down to Hiroshima.  After visiting the Peace Memorial, I rode the Astram Line before taking the Shinkansen back to Kobe, and rode the Port Island Line (Portliner).  This was the world's first fully automated AGT system, and was reconfigured in 2006 to include an extension out to the newly opened Kobe airport.  I just love the complexity of the system, especially at the centre section which has a crazy two-level station with various guideways going in and out of it for the two different routes.  That aspect of it reminded me a lot of the Morgantown PRT.

   
The Astram Line is a manually-driven AGT.

   
I just love the look of these trains.
