'C' Concourse People Mover
The 'C' Concourse People Mover originally opened on May 5, 2004, and was the second of two automated people mover systems to begin operation at the airport. Covering a distance of 2,700 feet (820 m), the tram was designed to quickly transport passengers between the concourses of the Lindbergh Terminal.
The tram was originally scheduled to open on June 1, 2002, but computer software problems and a collision with the vehicles resulted in postponing its opening to 2004. Costing $36 million to complete, the system was also constructed by Poma-Otis Transit Company of Farmington, Connecticut. The four cars utilized in the system have an average top speed of 26 miles per hour (42 km/h).
