Japan, Germany, etc... Its not so popular, but could be a good option of transportation in cities like Mumbai.

suspended railway has been around for some time..

Cons:

1) Wont travel fast

2) Needs raised platforms to get on and off the train at every station, heavy capital costs

3) Noise pollution, having it in a urban area

4) Wont look attractive

 

[Firemaster]

what are the advantage over conventional metros ??

 

[ProsperBD]

Ehhhh, just don't like the look of this.

 

[TOPGUN]

I really like this idea very nice thanks for sharing this is what is needed in karachi when offcourse Pakistan stands back on its feet and has the funds for it .

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

BETTER TO BE SUSPENDED

JUST NOT SEEMS GOOD ENOUGH COMPARED TO METRO OR A MONORAIL

 

[Frank Martin]

The Sky bus wont be a reliable one as the Metro rail..earlier it was proposed for Kochi too but after conducting studies the project is abandoned and Metro rail is suggested

 

[Ajaxpaul]

Sky bus project was abandoned because of safety problems, accidents. It was a good idea though.

Not fast enough. Only advantage i can think of is the savings compared to a conventional metro. It also looks a bit weird and therefore attractive.

Was there in Goa during the test run.. Never looked safe...

Would have been a good alternative though..

I think BRT wouldve been a safer and better alternative. This looks outdated and I dont even want to think about how much money will be needed to maintain this. This train looks like its from the 60s russia
