1. Morgantown is one of West Virginia's healthiest cities. It's a university town. Plenty going on. It's pretty nice. The PRT isn't really PRT, but more like an ultra-light elevated Metro. I have a few pictures, if anybody wants.

2. Morgantown is much more of a Pittsburgh satellite than DC satellite. It's not really on DC people's radar.

3. There are satellites of DC in West Virginia. Martinsburg and Charles Town are within the CSA if not MSA. Maybe they don't want the growth, IDK.
Interestingly, if you pull up the Wikipedia page for PRT Morgantown's is one of two photos used as an example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_rapid_transit


EDIT: There's a pretty sweet timelapse video of riding the PRT here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morgan..._Rapid_Transit
