This was a ride built for WDW in 1975. Now, the Tomorrowland Transit Authority is where the PeopleMover once stood. I was able to find a video that might tell a little more about it:

You don't need to sweat locating videos for this ride. The TTA is only the PeopleMover renamed. There is no other difference whatsoever that I know of. Next time you go on this ride, take a look at the board that controls the ride; it still says "PeopleMover."
I think this is one of my favorite attraction in the Magic Kingdom because it is based on a really good idea. It would be really if it this idea was applied in real cities. The carts are propelled with magnets and I think that is really brilliant.
I think this ride would be a lot better if they had several stations around Tmrland. The announcer on the ride sort of pretends that the various attractions are stations, but obviously they aren't. Tmrland is supposed to be an opportunity to live in the future. If we could actually use TTA to travel from one attraction to the next I think that would be awesome. They should put a station by the entrance to Tmrland toward the hub. There should be an exit toward the speedway (but it would be better at the end the terrace by Fantasyland so you can avoid taking that long walk past the speedway). They should also put a station by Space Mountain and one by Carousel of Progress. Then you could get on and off at whatever location you please. I think that would be so cool. I like TTA because of its potential more than I like the ride itself. It defeats the idea by arriving where you start in my opinion.

It's been about two years since I've been there; I guess I should've researched it a little more.-
