Since uSky Transport may become a strategic partner in the implementation of this project, our representative gave a brief interview to a journalist from Arabian Gulf Business Insight, where he said the following:

“We don’t need large amounts of concrete. We use a lot less materials than what’s required for metro or light rail”.
 “If the Skypod system has 3,000 to 4,000 passengers an hour, it will remove up to 2,000 cars from the roads. Other types of suspended transport systems, as found in China, Germany and Japan, do not have the speed of a Skypod or are more expensive”.
 “Skypod has wheels and they travel on steel cable rails, which is why we are quick and very energy efficient”.
 “We have a very good solution for developing countries, where the old transportation challenges are even sharper and more challenging, because the cost of construction of a normal metro can be $100 million per kilometer”.
