Sharjah aims to become the first city to roll-out high-speed skypod transport

Plans are underway to roll out a high-speed skypod transport system for passengers and cargo in Sharjah. The suspended transport system, which involves the movement of driverless pods on “strings" - which are a bundle of tensioned steel tracks attached on concrete supports - is being tested at Sharjah Research Technology and Innovation Park (SRTI Park).
The suspended transport system is different from the conventional pulley system of cable cars or aerial trams, which continuously move and circulate around two terminal stations at a speed between 10 to 20 km per hour. Sky pods are connected to high-tensioned steel wire and move back and forth independently.
The uCar (passenger sky pod) that can carry up to four passengers runs on 400-metre test track at SRTI Park at a speed of up to 50km per hour. A longer 2.4km string-rail system will be completed between October to November this year and the driverless hanging electric pod will be tested to run up to 150km per hour.

This is a welcome development, and I pray to see this in full operation in the near future and it will be a pleasure to travel in one of these.

[@paolo7817]

it is already certified from 25th August 2021 and you may drive in

My favorite company from 2017 in which I invested only $ 100, and later a little more. I believed in Dr. Yunitsky's Idea and accepted it wholeheartedly!
Greetings from Bulgaria!

Amazing Future skypods. I already invested for this company

Wish you all the best.

Really fascinating..can't wait to be able to try this skypod

[@syedbeemasiraj7784]

Masha Allah 💐💐eagerly waiting to see sky pod.

[@anthonyssemanda5737]

I love it. Hope To use it one-day i visit Sharjah

[@roygunewardene4637]

Wow, it's amazingly beautiful, I can't wait to travel in it. Love 😍 🇦🇪 from the bottom of my heart. 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏

[@L.M1792]

Excellence.
Once the concept of 500km per hour is up and running (with seat belts) the presently gained advancements in travel fatigue will be no more.
Great work, much like a ski lift but wholly faster? 🥸

[@wowlife4377]

500 Kms 😳 that would be more than amazing
All the best

[@yaacovgreenstein5272]

Nice, but you can see that at the pillers the track goes up and down. (And has a parabola shape between the pillers.) I doubt if it can do 150 kph on a bump like that.

[@mayalalee1]

600 company designers know what they do 😉

[@mahalam5002]

many years earlier, I had written that rope way could be one of the best system of future transport.

[@TheFlyDiscovery]

Wow very nice I'll come to explore

[@sharmeenkanwal6151]

Is it started?

[@abrarhussain6922]

Are this project is complete

[@f3rythegamer]

Ohhh SkyWay

[@СтудияГонщиковСОдессы]

SUPER !!!

[@arthursoesman]

You don't have to be an engineer to understand that this is the most ideal form of transport! both for passenger transport and for freight transport super efficient! This technology is ecologically super green, safe, cheap to purchase, and requires almost no land to build! Also economically speaking large transport companies and passenger transport companies can earn extremely well from this if they invest in this technology.

[@nishantsharma7082]

How is it economical and space saving

[@mjugs143]

Really? How so? Makes me think you are not engineer from your statements. No basis for saying such claims. First, It can carry less passenger than metro per unit time. How is that efficient? You want efficient transport? Try the tested and proven railway system. Carries tons of cargo and people in no time. No one needs 500kph if you carry 4-8 passengers at a time.

Nice service

[@mohammedabdullah4618]

But can it handle as many people as the dubai metro?

[@anthonyssemanda5737]

Not for now it only handle four passengers

Location please

[@adsonzstore]

Good luck sir

[@tjejojyj]

Wasn’t the basic technology already verified at the Skyway EcoTechnoPark in Belarus?
Why did Skyway need to build another test facility?
Until they build a revenue service somewhere this is just another gadgetbahn making a lot of big claims.

[@paolo7817]

belarus is with cold atmosfere but in UAE there is also need for this transport, it is also certified in 2021 at high temperature, salty air, storms etc

[@mr.senator.7939]

💪💪💪

[@Cybertokyofilms]

Build hyperloop

[@ahmedniazi07]

But When it drops you down then again you have to use car to go home

[@cryptodee3477]

At least more faster cheaper than it will take you by car to go around

[@mpp6015]

Please make one line to stadium metro station 😔😔 Via Al Nadha please HRH
