Why SkyTran?

SkyTran is an innovative personalized monorail system that takes you where you want to go, when you want to go, quickly, safely, and economically.

As convenient as a car

  • A SkyTran car is yours for the whole trip. Ride alone or with a friend.
  • No need to consult a schedule - SkyTran is always waiting for you.
    Just get in and go!

The fastest way to get there

  • SkyTran cars travel suspended from unobtrusive guideways and don't compete with traffic.
  • You travel nonstop to your destination.
  • A typical 10-mile trip from the suburbs to downtown takes about 10 minutes!

  • SkyTran cars are an integral part of the guideway and can't derail.
  • SkyTran can stop in one tenth the distance of any automobile.
  • SkyTran uses proven adaptive cruise control to automatically detect what's ahead and adjust speed as needed.
