MiniMetro is a family of cable-propelled automated people mover systems built by HTI Group. The vehicles run on either rails or an air cushion and have either a detachable grip (to the cable) or a fixed grip. Leitner has a test track for the vehicles in Vipiteno, Italy. The current maximum capacity of the system is around 8,000 passengers per hour. The latest system installed with the MiniMetro brand was the Miami International Airport eTrain in 2016.

In 2013, the system carried 10,000 passengers per day. Plans exist for a second line.
