The invention relates to a
passenger transport system and to a method for transporting a passenger. The
passenger transport system (10) is provided for a cab (16a, 16b, 16c, 16d), which can be transported by a transport vehicle (22a, 22b, 22c), for receiving at least one passenger (18). The transport vehicle (22a, 22b, 22c) and the cab (16a, 16b, 16c, 16d) can be coupled and decoupled such that the cab (16a, 16b, 16c, 16d) can be transported by the transport vehicle (22a, 22b, 22c) when the cab is coupled to the transport vehicle (22a, 22b, 22c). The
passenger transport system (10) has a movement device (14) which is attached to a building (12), and the movement device (14) and the cab (16a, 16b, 16c, 16d) can be coupled and decoupled such that the cab (16a, 16b, 16c, 16d) can be moved relative to the aforementioned building (12) by the movement device (14) on a first main movement path (36) when the cab is coupled to the movement device (14). The movement device (14) has an auxiliary movement path (48) for the cab (16a, 16b, 16c, 16d). The auxiliary movement path (48) branches off from the main movement path (38) and is designed and arranged such that the auxiliary movement path can receive at least one cab (16a, 16b, 16c, 16d) such that when the cab (16a, 16b, 16c, 16d) is received by the corresponding auxiliary movement path (48), the main movement path (38) from which the corresponding auxiliary movement path (48) branches off can be used by another cab (16a, 16b, 16c, 16d).
