Mag-lev smart overhead transport system coming to Netanya

The Israeli city of Netanya is the next in line to climb aboard the skyTran plan for the future of public transportation.

skyTran’s computer-controlled vehicles, capable of speeds up to 300 kilometers per hour, were developed at the NASA Ames Research Center in California and are being built at Israel Aerospace Industries.
