**MiniMetro** is a family of cable-propelled [automated people mover](/source/Automated_people_mover) systems built by HTI Group. The vehicles run on either rails or an air cushion and have either a detachable grip (to the cable) or a fixed grip. [Leitner](/source/Leitner_Ropeways) has a [test track](/source/Proving_ground) for the vehicles in [Vipiteno](/source/Vipiteno), Italy. The current maximum capacity of the system is around 8,000 passengers per hour. The latest system installed with the MiniMetro brand was the [Miami International Airport eTrain](/source/MIA_e_Train) in 2016.

## Perugia People Mover

In [Perugia](/source/Perugia), a 3,027-meter (9,931 ft; 1.881 mi) stretch with seven stations[1] opened in February 2008 to relieve the inner city of car traffic. It consists of more than 25 vehicles of 5 m (16 ft 4+7⁄8 in) each, with a capacity of 25 passengers and a speed of up to 25 kilometers (16 mi) per hour. The interval between successive vehicles is around 1.5 minutes. In 2013, the system carried 10,000 passengers per day.[2] Plans exist for a second line.

Similar systems are under consideration in [Bolzano](/source/Bolzano) and [Copenhagen](/source/Copenhagen).[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]
