This really looks neat. When this is up and running, people of all religions will be able to enjoy it. Hopefully it will be built in many large cities in the world.

California-based company skyTran is teaming up with Israel Aerospace Industries for the world’s first public pilot of its elevated transit network. The deal was signed last month by IAI’s Lahav Division director Yosef Melamed and skyTran CEO Jerry Sanders.

First developed as a concept in 1990 by Douglas Malewicki, skyTran is a system of elevated, automated transportation pods, designed to alleviate road congestion and increase fuel efficiency. It is lightweight and travels along the underside of an elevated track, called a guideway, using magnetic levitation (maglev) technology. It has very few moving parts and is considered solid-state.

The Tel Aviv project is intended to be operational by 2016 and will consist of about 500 meters of track across the Tel Aviv campus of IAI. If that project is successful, a commercial version will be built in the city.
