This document provides an overview of the Skybus metro system, a suspended bus rapid transit system. It describes the key components of Skybus including the sky way, sky bogies, sky coaches, and sky stations. The system works by having standard railway coaches run on tracks while being attached to and suspended from above. Some benefits cited include fast transportation, minimal land acquisition, no interference with road traffic, and no pollution. However, the only test track project in India was halted after an accident killed one employee during trials in 2004.

3. INTRODUCTION
This type of system has been successfully
implemented in certain countries, where road
has been added along with introduction of
metro type transport system.
What is Skybus?
This concept was first presented in Bologna
university Italy by MR.B Rajaram.
Sky Bus Technology Launched 15th
Oct.2003,at Madgaon, Goa.

4.  It is similar to the Wuppertal Suspension Railway or
H-Bahn systems in Germany.

6. COMPONENTS OF SKYBUS
The components used in this are:
Sky way

7.  SKY BOGIES

8. SKY COACHES

9. SKY STATION

10. SWITCHING ARRANGEMENT

11. WORKING PRINCIPLE
Standard railway coach running on
railway track.
The railways wheels remains same, they
run on same track, the coach is firmly
attached.

13. SALIENT FEATURES
Braking.
Capacity of 20m long train unit.
Route capacity.
Security and safety (Raksha kavach)
Easy access.
Power requirements.

14. SAFETY MEASURES
Dynamic safety is improved.
In Skybus wind cannot topple.
Derailment arresters which prevents the wheel
from jumping of the rails.
Safety air bags are provided with each
coaches.
Raksha Kavach will be there in each sky bogie.

15. ADVANTAGES
Fast transportation.
Minimal land acquisition problems.
No vandalism.
No capsizing.
Construction is fast compared to
other railways
Affordable charges
No interference with road traffic.
No pollution.
No traffic jams .

17. WHY IT WAS NEVER BUILD IN INDIA
 A 1.6 km (1 mi) test track in Margao, Goa started
trials in 2004, but on 25 September, one employee
was killed and three injured in an accident when the
coaches hit the concrete track pillars. The test track
was supposed to be extended to 10.5 km, but no
progress has been made since the accident, and
the system has not been adopted anywhere else in
India.
