context_page_description: The Indiana University Health People Mover, formerly the Clarian Health People Mover, was a 1.4-mile long, 4 ft narrow gauge people mover in the city of Indianapolis 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 was open to the public and operated around the clock, taking 5 minutes in each direction. During the daytime, a train departed automatically every six minutes. It was notable for being the only private transportation system in the United States constructed to run above public streets.
  In December 2018, plans were introduced to revert the route to a bus-based operation after February 2019. The replacement road-based shuttle service would use four-to-six buses running on propane fuel or compressed natural gas, whilst the People Mover tracks would remain in place for the pneumatic tube system.
context_section_description: The system was constructed by Schwager Davis Inc. (SDI) from San Jose, California, to their Unitrak standard.
  There are two separate parallel elevated guideways side-by-side, both of which operate in both directions. The concrete rails have a gap between them, designed to combat winter snow and the people mover is therefore not technically a monorail.
  Each of the two tracks carried a train with three carriages for a total capacity of 81 passengers. Each train weighed 45,000 pounds (20 t) and had twenty-four passenger seats across the three cars. The rest of the passenger capacity was made up of standing places.
