SKYTRAN IN TEL AVIV!

Tel Aviv is soon set to become the world’s first city to have a mass-transit system based on the Maglev (magnetic levitation) technology. The SkyTran System will be comprised of two person pods that float down by means of overhead magnets. This electromagnetic mechanism ensures a virtually silent commute above bustling city streets, with zero emissions. The four-mile route, to be constructed during the coming year, will at first connect Tel Aviv University train station with Atidim high-tech park and take about 18 months to build. Further north, the coastal city of Netanya is thinking of following Tel Aviv's example.
