The Indiana University Health People Mover, formerly the Clarian Health People Mover, is a long, narrow gauge〔(Zeitschrift Blickpunkt Straßenbahn (Tram Focus Magazine) - Trams of the World 2013 )〕 people mover in the city of Indianapolis, Indiana in the United States. The system opened on June 28, 2003, to connect the Methodist Hospital of Indianapolis, the Indiana University Hospital, and the James Whitcomb Riley Hospital for Children, jointly operated as a single hospital by Indiana University Health. The dual-track system is open to the public and operates around the clock, taking 5 minutes in each direction.〔 During the daytime, a train departs automatically every six minutes.〔 It is notable for being the only private transportation system in the United States constructed to run above public streets.〔 〕 ==History== In 1997, the three hospital operations were combined under Indiana law creating a shared staff of over 10,000 employees who could be required to travel between the campuses. Commuting between the three sites was complicated and required the crossing of the Interstate 65 highway by shuttle buses. In May 2000, a ''Health Care Transportation System Franchise Agreement'' was signed, followed by the ''People Mover – State of Indiana Airspace Agreement and Lease'' in November 2000 to allow crossing under the Interstate 65 highway for a period of 25 years.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Indiana University Health People Mover」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
