Eco Factor: Sustainable monorail concept powered by renewable energy.
The Suspended Public Transportation System designed by Elisa Sayuri Freitas Irokawa and Rafael Osmar de Oliveira e Costa could well be the greenest train design ever. The hanging monorail let you behold the scenic beauty of a futuristic city and the ride is also carbon-neutral with solar and wind generators doing the job.
The train runs on electromagnetic and has roofs and sides made from transparent polycarbonate. On top of each of the train cars solar generators are embedded and the tops of the towers are equipped with urban wind power generators.
The interiors are as futuristic as the design. The seats inside the cars are made from Corian which is both strong and easy to clean. OLED panels, touch screen interfaces, Wi-Fi internet, headphone jacks, Bluetooth and various information boards grace the interiors.
