SkyPod Transportation Project Plans Approved by Dubai
Dubai’s Executive Council has greenlit a 65 km “Suspended Transport System” that will link three major locations: Umm Suqeim Street, Al Khor, and Zabeel.
This project features self-driving vehicles that travel on elevated support beams, seamlessly integrating with the city’s existing transport systems to provide the most efficient and sustainable transportation options for residents.
According to Dubai’s Executive Council, this system is part of a broader initiative aimed at reinforcing Dubai’s status as a leader in technology and urban development. It plays a crucial role in Dubai’s Smart Mobility Strategy.
The new system aims to boost the percentage of public transport journeys in Dubai to 26% by 2030.
While not many details have been disclosed about the specifics of the project, the Roads and Transport Authority of Dubai has previously hinted at what these suspended airlifts could look like.
