Phoenix is picking up on the popular “people mover” idea and will build an automated train to shuttle passengers from the eastern edge of Sky Harbor International Airport to its three terminals and its western end…

The train is expected to start operating in 2013 to Terminal 4…

The people mover would run along Arizona 153, also known as Sky Harbor Expressway, which the Arizona Department of Transportation wants to give to Phoenix… The Maricopa Association of Governments plans to delete [Route 153] from the Regional Transportation Plan…

The train will share part of the existing road with motorists, Simeone said, and tie into the light-rail station being built at 44th and Washington streets…
