This project has captured the overall strategic plan of Dubai to be a city of smart and sustainable transport systems.
The sky pods, jet like flying transport vehicles connected by beams throughout the urban city, are to provide commuters not only with a faster means of transportation but also a view of the sprawling city skyline. These pods are uniquely designed to provide employees with a comfortable ride through slopes, steep hills making travel more serene though minimizing traffic jam.
