1. Conventional railway provides for heavy steel coaches to protect people .

2 . So carry more steel and dead weight instead of people.

1 . Sky Bus has no such problem, no derailment nor capsizing; hence uses very light weight coaches and carries more people.

2 . using much less dead weight

With total weight of 48T, a railway can carry only 70 persons in 20m length

Sky Bus with the same weight & length carries 300 persons comfortably
