Each electric pod can carry up to four passengers and their luggage. At the terminal, passengers request a pod and enter their destination.Once in the pod, passengers dont have to worry about traffic or the pods ability to navigate around cars because they travel on designated roadways. It takes the pods about five to six minutes to travel approximately 1.2 miles from Terminal 5 to the parking lot without the help of a driver.
