The Dubai Media Office published a visualization of the project, giving the following explanation: “Skypods, a suspended transit system that links vital spots such as the @DIFC and @MyDowntownDubai. The project, which has 21 stations and the capacity to transit 8,400 riders per hour per direction.”
The Dubai Media Office website states that the Skypods project (under this name SkyWay was presented in the UAE) “offers an urban transit experience that features modern-designed pods passing through Dubai’s towers. It is characterised by uniquely designed stations and rail-supporting structures extending along the track. The project will maintain design harmony with the Dubai Metro stations.”

“We are happy that the government of Dubai has chosen our technology as a tool for the development of the region. This is not only a great honor, but also a huge responsibility for the entire SkyWay team.
