people movers
Automated walkway systems
People movers are transportation systems designed to carry passengers short distances, typically within airports, theme parks, or urban centers.
The term covers automated walkways, small shuttle trains, and monorails—anything that moves crowds efficiently across contained spaces: The people mover connects all the terminals.
In a looser sense, any vehicle moving groups of people qualifies: Minivans are the ultimate family people movers.
