Growing up I saw this train tracks being built and my young self really didn’t understand how it would work as it looked so futuristic in those days. It really looked promising but It eventually was left to rust for several years until it got demolished. Hope someday they built a proper train system so we use less cars and more trains that are eco friendly
I remember this Sky bus line very well. Every time I passed through Madgaon(As I studied in Karnataka, I traveled frequently to Goa) I used to wonder why such a futuristic project is left abandoned. Didn't know tracks are now demolished completely. It is sad to know.
In a country like India where we have more populations, we don't need such fragile transport system. Metro, EMU, Trams are good alternative.
Why did the metro hit the pillar?? Didn't it have a designated route?? Btw spotted the sky rail alignment at Madgaon when I went there in 2013.
Cross air currents and inadequate roll control mechanisms must have been the cause
I wish that the current govern of India takes keen interest in Skybus technology and revives it.
not going to happen. There have been several skybus/monorail projects in the world and not one can be considered a good. Especially the ones that have been constructed in developing countries are massive failures.
There is a good video on why monorail sucks by a TH-camr called "adam something"
Thanks for this Amazing video!! I live in madgaon and i have seen this project being built from scratch and being demolished to dust. This project was introduced when i was a small kid and there was so much hype everywhere in goa about this!! If the test would have been successfull this sky bus was planned to connect various cities of goa. And also as far as i know before the sky bus hit the pillar it had cleared two successfull phases of testing. So sad to see such a beautiful project being demolished.
One death and the project was scrapped, the same with aviation industry, if we continue scrapping things like this, nothing will come to fruition. I am keeping my fingers crossed for all future tech. projects too like human spaceflight program.
Hii I'm from future lot of things improved
Suspended metro railway is said to unsafe if it carries more than its permitted capacity.... indian cities being overcrowded and passengers not willing to adhere to the rules and restrictions, suspended metro railway is good only as a joyride in some places in our country... Light railways or tram are better alternative to this and a cheaper alternative to the metro railways.... Monorails are good option too but will the public of Kolkata adhere to the boarding capacity rules??
Monorail flopped in Mumbai so only solution for future is metro and electric busses
Biswadeep Mondal monorail flopped due to poor planning, and it will be successful after 2020
we need more TOTO, dont need trains, buses. almost 0 chance of accident. if its hits someone he/she wont be dead. it also helps unemployed people and political parties.
@@avishekroy26 whahahahahahahaha 😂 true, how about lithium battery toto instead of acid-lead battery they use currently! Anyways govt can build charging station and other infrastructure but sadly auto wala unions won't let this happen in Kolkata
I'd say it was forced to fail. It connects one of the most dense areas which lack Railway or even ample amount of Buses.
The political agenda is a problem which hinders literally everything in our country.
Think about it yourself, it's such an important project, why is it not being given the desired attention?
I still remember those pillars and the tracks
update : July 27 2022 - "India may soon get its first skybus soon on select stretches of Delhi and Haryana as union road transport and highways minister Nitin Gadkari sees it as a way to reduce traffic and pollution in the nation’s capital and neighbouring states"😀
Skybus Metro is based on the SAFEGE Suspended monorail design that has been implemented in two separate systems in Japan. The Wuppertal Schwebebahn was the first successful Suspended Monorail, however it suffers from the flaw of having the steel wheels only on one rail. This is bad because it is a less safe then the modern designs. The Chiba Urban Monorail and Shonan Monorail in Japan are the best examples of this concept! There are also two smaller examples of the modern suspended monorail design, both located in Germany under the name H-Bahn. They are located in Dusseldorf and Dortmund.
Ah yeah! I watched their videos
Congratulations bro for 10 thousand subscribers
I remembered that once I went to Goa in 2008, from Mumbai to Madgaon, by train, i saw this before entering into the Madgaon rly stn. First i thought that it is just an underconstruction flyover but later I saw a train like coach is hanging at the end of this hanging tracks, then I came to realise that its a skybus railway system quite similar to monoral. Some local authorities of that area told it is not used for passengers its only a model.
My father did some off those Piller s
These suspended trains do not take less money to operate or maintain; firstly a suspended train has more moving parts then the average train increasing maintenance. secondly, the structure upkeep of the overhead track and support beams. Lastly, running these types of trains have little cost-benefit to a standard train when taking into energy, stuff and building costs.
Tracks and stations should have not dismantled. It was a landmark project.
yes
Congrts for 10k
This system should be encouraged and implemented in in India....... Also in big cities like Mumbai Chennai Delhi etc....
Indeed it was Indias dream that was broken. As a child when we used to go to margão to shop every weekend I would be so excited to see that Blue coaches even tho my dad had explained to me that it had failed. I was 12-13 years old yet there was a glimmer of hope that it would come into existence some day. But I was really heart broken when they finally demolished the test track somewhere around 2017. Even my dream of riding the sky bus was broken that day too..
Indian government has habit of adopting technology which is already tried and tested in other countries
Government doesn't take risk on technology development things
The Photos shown in the video probably aren't in HD because they date back to 2003-2009.
I was around 8 years old when I saw the Margao Sky Bus! Sad to see the dream demolish now
In Japan they use the Safege monorail system I think he's faster better and his structure construction is safer !
Agar BJP sarkar hoti, Toh sayad yeh buses har seher mein hote 😏
😂😂😂 BJP Ko bolo pahele Democracy Sambhal lo acche se
@@hemantpatilofficial2447 yep democracy have died that's why they lost in Bengal & kerela?
Sky bus is good for traffic problems
As I'm staying in Goa. Whenever I use to go to Margao I was wondering and thinking about the failure of Sky bus. If we could take help of Abroad countries like Germany, Japan, Russia it could be a great success.
it isn't safe during accident
😢i know thanks for bringing it to public knowledge.
Congratulations for 10k subscribers😊😊😊
They can do it in New Town, Kalyani area of Kolkata
Jyotirmoy Sarkar it can be done anywhere.. just image below SkyBus and above metro..
No , do not , as it is most unsafe for passengers as there is no emergency escape in case of fire or terror attack. Also the technology is more expensive and maintenance is difficult. A flaw in the track means derailment in normal tracks, but in suspended tracks, the coach will fall and people will get hurt and die, and there might be cars and people underneath too.
Not good idea, so most cities reject it. But it seems indians have little logical abilities left to get it, after the amount of religion they follow.
Let them first finish metro construction dont know when is it going to start its run even metro took so many years to start and is still underconstruction shame on this mamata goverment
Its OK I support experimenting rather than sitting idolly and do nothing.
I think aj India k pass potential h ki wo fr se iss project ko khda kr sake
I'm native Goan. Whenever I would travel any places via Margao I wld see skybus and wonder when it's gonna start . That time I was a school going kid and it was like a fantasy for me just like how they show in movies. So many years passed and I frgot abt it and today after watching video I got to knw abt the failure of the project. I really don't understand why they dismantled the tracks . By now they cld have started working on it as technology as changed so much. Giving up was a stupid decision.
Please make a video on Kolkata Metro rake's cleaning and maintenance service inside the depot of the North-South Metro at either Tollygunge or Noapara car shed.
Congratulations for reaching 10k+ subs.... waiting for a facecam video
I used to see skytrain banners in Delhi during mid-2000s, telling that they would be operational by 2012. I wondered what happened to them. Thanks for clarifying.
Same in Hyderabad too. It was all over newspapers. Then the news just faded away.
Goa tried it too
It should also be in our country for public transport 😢
problem isn't in the technology Its in the people's brain .....Suspended Monorail is still running in many countries like German,Japan,china,Brazil......for many years.
Guys there is a ongoing project is in Delhi NCR , you can check it metrino in delhi
Pretty much every dream in India is broken. Only dreams that see a day of light is private ones
saw this structure being dismantled infront of us 😢
At least we tried. May be in future ...
I was visited demo skybus station when they inaugurated test track at Madgaon Station. and it was really advance at that time. actually this project scrapped due to lacking of financial backup and govts will. also after that accident force project head took responsibility of it and resigned.
A perfect example of govt negligence.
people of West Bengal need TOTO instead of trains, buses etc. TOTO is great service which helps Political Parties and some unemployed peoples. after 5 years we will see TOTO running on Rail Tracks, floating on the river to give ferry service. Just pay Rs. 10 and u will reach ur Bedroom, Coz TOTO can enter anywhere due its amazing shape and performance.
Can you tell when East west metro is scheduled to start running for public??
To be honest, I m happy that govt didn't waste money on this.
They should complete the project with the help of Japanese companies.. Bcoz they are very reliable and they also use this type of train system
Not a bad video but could have been better. Plenty of “futuristic” transport have come to naught - supersonic passenger aircraft, high speed tracked air cushion vehicles, gas turbine railway locomotives, high speed maglev - so why should Skyway have succeeded?
There are suspended monorail designs in operation that don’t need such a massive (& ugly) overhead structure.
Also Skyway just used conventional rail technology within that huge box for no real advantage over a conventional railway which is used successfully all over the globe.
If the top of the track is used for road vehicles, on the other hand...
I believe Pros and Cons were not evaluated properly in the design phase. Project was approved in haste, after an accident resulting in an Engineer's death it was scrapped. Waste of public money and it could have been utilized for better road transport...... Overground metro would have been a great solution than Skybus from Margao station until Panaji or Mapusa. I lived for 3 years near Margao and I used to struggle traveling to Panaji. Road transport was pretty dodgy in Goa when compared to nearby states during that period. Not sure how is it now.
I am from goa the skybus was kept suspend after the accident
Is this skybus used in place of buses in goa
Also in Dortmund Germany, the H Bahn
Ye technology chaina main bhi kam kar raha hai
Bengaluru te asche notun kore abr
Where is it??
This is the Suspension Railway.
Where it was located ?
Madgaon
It isn't fragile look its monorail the one in Germany has been going for 117 years and its completely safe and cheap to build look at the worlds monorails like in Japan its the safest transport system they just built it wrong in India
there are very few good sky-bus systems in the world. Most of them are considered failures
Super speed tram is only solution.
Background music name???
You from which country
Sky bus better than metro railway!!
Bro ithinte ppt onnu ittu tharavoo
oh wait why the description of this video contains info about kolkata metro instead of info about Skybus?
Too much fanboying i guess. Hope this fanboying doesn't turn into biasing- only more focused on Kolkata metro as the channel name suggests: MetroRail Blog. (:
Also about the SkyBus, you could have dug a bit deeper and provided more information.
name of intro music?
Why?
Why it failed?
safety reasons
Skybus is not safe for the passengers either as it has no emergency escape in case of fire or other mishaps. People are just trapped in the coaches.
rbojji.blogspot.com/2018/08/atal-skybus-metro-rail-technology.html
Report lack details, not convinced. Articles on Hyperloop have more details. I read nothing that allays my concerns on safety. Only positive i found was it requires less land so less land acquisition.
I agree that details are not completely given in the article. But the project was in experimental stage. Some failures will always occur at this stage.An experiment is successful only after trial and error. Regarding emergency exit something could have designed. The article shows some provision though sufficiently not explained. It is then when we highlight the problem , a solution could be found. As the test structure was present along with the redesigned skybuses , the trials should have started instead of just demolishing the structure this addressing all the concerns like emergency exit, swing levels, maintenance of tracks etc. Scrapping of project because of one failure is very nad . Imagine if such a case occurs in space research projects than we would not have been witnessing this great success of our scientists.When I was a kid i was happy that I was going to witness new mode of transport.but it was heartbreaking to see the structure getting demolished during my college days. I am not saying that the life of the person which was lost is not valuable. Lives are very important. Less Land is one advantage along with one like it can't be detailed and hence toppling could be avoided.
cool guy
I agree we must be open minded and do experiments. But experiments are for R&D , not for implementation and use by public. Imagine what will happen if there are many accidents and then all the public will scream who and why passed such unreliable tech etc etc.
Also , i think even Hyperloop tech is more feasible (which is in experimental stage). Such suspended rail systems have been used (rarely) where other systems were not possible like very congested areas or hilly towns. But mostly the rope way is cheaper and more suitable in strong gusty winds and snowy conditions. They are much cheaper and easy to maintain. And with modern TBM technology getting cheaper, Underground metro is more feasible where overground is not possible.
I also do not have details why Goa Skybus was scrapped just that there was an accident.
Imaagine the smell inside that skybus..
Dismas A. Lol
Hahahahaha........ITS INDIA,WHAT ELSE DO YOU EXPECT.
? Why not just import the tech from Germany or Japan that have already perfected it instead of developing it from scratch?
Kolkata metro local train even bus everything fully loaded by human any hope for this any seat will available for sit 😂😂😂
Well, China has so much to offer for you my Indian friends. You should consult them for the best transportation in Asia.
No thanks, if we need any help we'll consult Japan 🇮🇳🇯🇵
Please dont consult with china, if incident happend like we see in this video, indian citizen will blame to china... Its to risk for china take project tranportation in india... But that not china fault.. To many coruption and not discipline and less indian attitude make that incident happend... Im happy indian not consuling to china...
@@sweetpotato3910 China actually ranks much worse than India in corruption & freedom index lmao.
Japan all the way 🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵💜💛💚
Hindi
Because we blindly follow western country
It sux
We don't need it either
Bc we invented it and we don't have it..
I am first to warch it
Like for me
Report
Make vids only for Bengal and Kolkata else I'd have to delete you for good.
Dumb ways to die
it's nothing but wastage of money....n very dangerous too
RANJIT KUMAR it's not dangerous
Unnecessary experiment
People like you are the reason why we are still left behind.
@@rationalmind3567 u have no rational mind
please improve the Existing Buses and Bus stands , most of the bus stands are dirty and full of shit .
Buy new buses .
Stop investing in this BS new hanging system .
सब बेकार हो गया ।
highly unnecessary, make a metro
Paanch rupay ki hindi bol do bhai
Very bad
Your accent is very hard to understand... Either speak in Indian or in else accent, don't speak middle of nowhere accent plz
I'm a native English speaker and his English is good enough. I understood everything he said.
