Eco Factor: Zero-emission public transport concept based on magnetic levitation.

Chaotic traffic jams, pollution and clogged parking spaces are the problems that an average urban commuter has to deal with everyday. Public transportation is definitely a better alternative, but for those who try to better the environment, a zero-emission system is needed desperately. Industrial designer Chris Hanley has come up with a concept public transportation system that offers a zero-emission ride with a roller coaster-like experience.

The system is based on magnetic levitation and aims to keep city dwellers away from traffic jams by running along its tracks that are suspended above the lanes or streets of major cities. The new system will use skyscrapers as stations.

With an ability to rotate 360 degrees, the system can maneuver sharp corners to move down narrow roads within cities. The wings of the system move along the magnetic track, while the two cabins are kept completely still making it safe for people to travel without any seat belts.
