Skybus metro rail is a project for a prototype rapid transit system within the Konkan Railway in India.Sky Bus Metro is based on the concept of Sky Wheels presented at World Congress for Railway research.The Konkan Railway Corporation has patented it and runs it in countries including India, US and south Africa. The system consists of an elevated track with the cars suspended below the track. It resembles the Wuppertal Schwebebahn railway system in the Germany. Margao, Goa has acted as the testground for it since 2004 where the tests are conducted on A 1.6 kilometre (1 mile) test track.
It provides a economically viable and environmental friendly solution for the transportation problem . The conventional solutions used are capital-intensive technologies and require a lot of subsidy. Hence they are proving to be financially unviable and not practical.
The problems of vandalism, derailments have been solved by using the innovative technology and the system is virtually maintenance free.
