Filmed in 2011, The LRT also known as an APM (Automated People Mover) serves the community around Punggol in Singapore. Opened in 2005 (East Loop) and 2014 (West Loop) Punggol is the 3rd of three LRTs in Singapore. The line uses Mitsubishi 'Crystal Mover' automated cars travelling around a 10km track with 7 stations on each loop.
The Cudgegong Gantry on the eastern side of Windsor Rd. Taking it's sweet time to complete this section. Only about 4 more deck sections to lift & this side will be half complete.
The tunnels which were used by the driverless trains transporting mail below the London streets were not much larger than the little trains. Tunnels became much more spacious at the stations where mail was loaded and unloaded. Our little train seemed to go down this narrow tunnel very quickly, and there was not a lot of clearance for us, making this an exciting ride.

New Transit Yurikamome. A Tokaido Shinkansen train seen from the Yurikamome line, which is a rubber tyred driverless system, south of Shiodome station. The line ahead can be seen making a 90 degree left turn passing between two tall buildings.
A close up view of the Viaduct showing the curvature of the track.
A great vantage point too! way back from the bridge and the large lens unfriendly wire fence. Thank goodness for compact cameras.
Also note the new Skybridge through the trees.
The view I've waited 18 months to see ! Finally erected, this view of the viaduct taken from the balcony of the Ettamogah Pub on Windsor Rd.

Driverless train on Line "D"
Saves on the higher payed drivers but in the rush hour they have to pay for gangs to man the platforms to prevent overcrowding. Topical with London driverless proposal
A pier with a difference. This one is near Rouse Hill Town Centre shops on the corner of Windsor Rd & Rouse Hill Dr.
Riding on the Disneyland Resort Line of Hong Kong's Mass Transit Railway. Operated with driverless trains, the line links the Hong Kong Disneyland theme park to the main railway network.
The Arse Electronica is a possible and necessary statement on artificial intelligence and robotics. We take note of the fact that countless contributions to the discussion about what machines could and should do are being made by almost everybody. Robots that take care of our old people, driverless cars, internet of things, intelligent market agents, big data, digitalization – the omnipresence of the topic deserves a statement like The Arse Electronica: a gigantic pink bottom, equipped with motors and sensors. Whoever dares to step under it is rewarded with a shower of golden confetti.

RapidKL Kelana Jaya Line
Kelana Jaya Line uses the state-of-the-art driverless system by Advanced Rapid Transit Mark II technology from Canada. It has a proven record of very high performance specification in North America and Europe and is designed to meet the demands of a modern city of Kuala Lumpur.
The alignment starts from the Depot in Subang and ends at Gombak Station totaling to 29km in length with a total of 24 stations.
Its first operation commenced on 1 st September 1998 between Subang Depot to Pasar Seni Station and section two, between Pasar Seni Station to Gombak Station in June 1999.
In 2002, the system carried its 150 millionth passenger, with an average of 160,000 passengers riding the system daily. Today, it carries over 170,000 passengers a day and over 350,000 a day during national events.
Masdar City (مدينة مصدر‎, Madīnat Maṣdar) is an arcology project in Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates. The initial design banned automobiles, as travel will be accomplished via public mass transit and personal rapid transit (PRT) systems, with existing road and railways connecting to other locations outside the city.

Two new metro stations opened to the public on October 20, 2023, extending the metro line B to Oullins-Centre and Saint-Genis-Laval Hôpital Lyon-Sud, Lyon, France. The metro line B is now fully operated driverless with brand-new Alstom metro cars.
I paid a visit to theses new metro station with my French FOCA camera PF2B (year 1948). For the photo session, I equipped my Foca a normal lens Oplar 1:3.5 f=5cm lens. This lens, with the serial number beginning by 032, was manufactured in 1947 by the Optique & Précision de Levallois (OPL) French company, most likely in its factory of Châteaudun, Eure, France. The lens was also equipped withe with a generic 36mm push-on AUV filter a metal shade-hood.
I used also a special FOCA ever-ready bag made of a mix of strong military fabric and brown leather. This type of FOCA bag appeared as soon as 1945 and was price listed until 1954 but less popular and te other full leather bags. Exemplary in good shape is a rarity. The lens cap used here is a modern plastic 36mm lens cap Heliopan, Germany.
Due to a rather "foggy" finder, I used the Foca multi-focal external finder for the 50mm lense. The focus is almost impossible to evaluate using the internal range-finder that is, however, well operating. When necessary (distances bellow ca 5-6m), exact distances were measured using a LASER meter and reporting the value found to the lens distance scale.
The Foca camera was loaded with an Ilford HP5+ 36-exposure film. It was exposed for 400 ISO using an Autometer III Minolta lightmeter fitted with a 10° finder for selective measurements privileging the shadow areas.

After exposure, the film was developed using Adox Adonal (Agfa Rodinal). I wanted to develop the film at dilution 1+25 for 6min at 20°C to get a bit more of contrast but I was distracted and I prepared wrongly by routine a 1+50 that would have required 11min, resulting of an incomplete development and a quite pale negative. I realized my mistake while considering the film before complete wash.
I thought first that the film will be not usable and I was ready to return on the site for a second session. However, when digitalized it was possible to obtain acceptable positives views. Digitization was done using a Sony A7 body (24MP) fitted to a Minolta Slide Duplicator installed on a Minolta Auto Bellows III with a lens Minolta Bellow Macro Rokkor 50mm f/3.5. The RAW files obtained were processed without intermediate files in LR and edited to the final jpeg pictures.
All views of the film are presented in the dedicated album either in the printed framed versions and unframed full-size jpeg accompanied by some documentary smartphone Vivio Y76 color pictures.
About the camera :
This Foca PF2B is an early series (model-3 version-5 circa 1948) of the Foca PF2B 35mm French range-finder camera released in 1945. The PF2B model of Foca has the 36mm screw mount of all other Foca PF (PF standing for "Petit Format"). Foca camera's were constructed in France by the company "Optique & Precision de Levallois" (OPL) in the OPL factory of Chateaudun (Eure) starting from 1946. This factory still exists under the name of SAFRAN a French company producing aerospace devices and systems. This model of PF2B was originally without flash synchronisation. This one has been probably modified after sale with the double synchro X and FP that are still operating correctly (X synchro at 1/25s)
