PRT has not been created to totally replace the automobile.
PRT has been designed as public transit, its goal is to reduce traffic congestion by attracting more riders than conventional transit. So the question shouldn't be "how do I carry 15 bags of groceries on PRT?", but "do I carry 15 bags of groceries on the bus or train TODAY?" You don't of course, nor would you on PRT, any more than you would take the bus to pick up a load of lumber at Home Depot.
But you would take PRT to work, or school, to a restaurant, or to the movie theater. Or to get ONE bag of groceries.
