I've been following this technology for almost 20 years now. It's nice to see someone finally pioneering it on a commercial scale... Kudos to both uSKy Transport and The UAE!
The reason Unitsky String Technologies' transportation system can be built 'for a fraction of the cost of traditional models' stems from several key innovations: Lighter Infrastructure: The system utilizes lighter materials and less cumbersome structures than traditional transit systems. This reduces the cost of materials, transport, and installation. Rapid Installation: Thanks to its modular design and simple components, the system can be assembled much faster than traditional infrastructure. Faster construction reduces labor costs and allows for quicker operational turnover, generating revenue sooner. Flexible Installation: The ability to adapt to various terrains and environments without extensive landscape modification or costly groundwork saves on civil engineering and site preparation costs. Reduced Maintenance: The design and materials used may also lead to lower maintenance costs. Fewer heavy and complex parts mean fewer potential failure points and simplified maintenance, reducing long-term costs. Energy Efficiency: If the system employs advanced technologies to enhance energy efficiency, it could lower operational costs compared to older, less efficient systems. These factors combine to make Unitsky String Technologies’ system an economically viable alternative to more traditional options, offering substantial cost savings in both construction and operation
This is a great transport solution to finally be efficient in transport.. for me, interesting and great technology, also in terms of transporting goods, etc.. Unitsky String Technologies - UST - Great and great technology, hats off to me. 👍👏
@@NicolasStringTransport I've been following your company for a while! I am so glad to see someone signed on the dotted line for a system! These should be everywhere worldwide if you ask me!!!
This thing is too small for Dubai. Have ANY of you actually went on the Dubai Metro?! What are you peopling thinking? This needs to be able to carry 500+ people at a time to work.
The track shown in the video is strong enough to support vehicles with loads up to 60 tons on each span of the overpass structure. The vehicle shown can operate at rated speeds with maximum 12 tons total weight including room for 25 passengers. So imagine vehicles supporting at least 125 passengers on each span (probably more) passing by every 30 seconds. That’s already 15,000 people per hour. Large carriage uBuses will have higher passenger to weight ratio, so actual figure is probably higher.
@@ayoutubechannelname That's still too small for Dubai. I bet the people who created this never even been on the Dubai Metro. This train is meant for a remote village in the Alps, not for a huge megacity.
@@zionismisterrorism8716 People rely on public transportation to reach the Metro. That’s because the Metro is the highest in public transportation hierarchy. It has the highest capacity per transit corridor, but also the highest price per kilometer of corridor. The sensible thing has always been to link these to a far larger number of corridors that individually have less capacity. These can be busways or tramways. This is the niche that string transport will serve in an urban area like Dubai. It’s best to think of string transport as an elevated rail BRT that has the cost characteristics of a cableway and the speed of a grade-separated tram.
During the journalists' visit, the module was still in the testing phase but could be operational to accommodate several passengers on board. This explains the speed limitation, but the speed will increase gradually. The transport module is capable of reaching speeds of up to 150 km/h.

Could you explain why this can be done '...for a fraction of the cost of traditional models'?

OkVERY GOOD luck
VERY GOOD NICE ok
Try it in India with 1450 million citizens as customers 😅.
Too small.

but speed seems slow
