Why one American city replaced traditional public transit with a massive golf cart network
In short: Peachtree City, Georgia, manages traffic differently than most urban centers. Instead of relying solely on buses or trains, the city utilizes a unique infrastructure of golf cart paths to reduce car usage. This video examines how this unconventional transport system functions in practice.
Peachtree City features an extensive network spanning approximately one hundred miles of dedicated golf cart tracks. This infrastructure provides an alternative to conventional public transit, effectively minimizing the number of automobiles on local roads.
The concept was brought to attention in 2017, highlighting a rare example of a city designed to integrate small, low-speed vehicles into its daily transit ecosystem as a primary method of movement.
