Transportation, Elevated
Transform Your Community Into An Urban Oasis - With Vuba.
Need a lift? We all do. Getting where we need to be quickly, confidently, and easily is an essential aspect of our freedom in modern society. Yet, our transportation options are outdated, inefficient and sometimes maddening.
That’s why we’re developing Automated Transit Network (ATN) technology that re-imagines the way we move in our urban communities. Say hello to the next evolution of Smart Urban Mobility. Say hello to Vuba.
We Get You There Quickly
At Vuba, we envision a future where people can move around their communities easily, like the hummingbird zips quickly through the forest. Where people thrive with no worries of traffic congestion, pollution or accidents. Where businesses can flourish because customers and employees arrive effortlessly. Where human equality and access to opportunities are supported through the democratization of mobility.
Our Communities Deserve A Better Alternative
We owe so much to trains, buses, and automobiles - but last century’s solutions are no longer serving us well.
Around the world, our urban communities have become chaotic, noisy, and difficult to navigate. Urban congestion causes frustration, lost time and reduced quality of life. Increasing traffic related injuries and deaths plague the population, while unsustainable consumption and pollution plague our planet.
Thankfully, The Next Evolution Of Urban Life Is Blossoming Before Our Eyes.
Smart mobility, focused on “human-centered” transportation design, will help us get where we need to go next without crowding the way there.
- Democratizes mobility, providing access to jobs, schools, entertainment and opportunity for all.
- Complements existing transportation channels, helping to clear unnecessary city blockages.
- Opens up ecologically oriented urban planning opportunities by removing weight from our ground traffic load.
How It Works
Introducing
Vuba
We provide quick, enjoyable and affordable Automated Transportation for your community. Driverless electric vehicles called PodCars move travelers smoothly and silently along aerial guideways… Lifting passengers up, above traffic on the streets.
5X More Reliable
Count on Vuba’s transportation network to operate flawlessly 24/7 in all weather conditions.
1/4 The Cost
Compared to conventional public transportation operating and capital costs.
Twice As Fast
Quick, express travel from origin to destination at speeds up to 60mph.
Zero Accidents
With over 200 million passenger miles logged worldwide, ATN systems have caused zero injuries or fatalities.
What We Do
Project & System Implementation
At Vuba, our journey begins with real-world projects in partnership with companies who have already-proven ATN technology available for use.
These initiatives are more than just studies; they're collaborations with communities that are eager to address urban mobility challenges. Some of these projects will be ready for implementation even before our groundbreaking technology is fully developed. In such cases, we'll work closely with these communities to identify and adopt the most suitable proven technology for their specific needs. By doing so, we not only expand the market for advanced transportation systems but also ensure that communities can benefit from improved mobility sooner rather than later.
Technology Design & Development
As a long-term approach, we’re committed to developing cutting-edge technology that will redefine urban transportation.
Our in-house technology is designed to perform at the top of its class, with greater reliability, affordability and visually appeal. With a top speed of 60mph and precise computer-controlled operations, our vehicles can operate in close proximity and adhere to tight timing, ensuring a seamless urban transportation experience. Our PodCars are engineered for safety and can comfortably accommodate six passengers, facilitating efficient and eco-friendly urban commuting. Our guideways are built to withstand all weather conditions, be it wind, snow, rain or sunshine. Furthermore, our cost-effective infrastructure, production methods, and operational practices set a new industry standard, making profitability attainable in an otherwise ineffective sector. Our commitment to enhancing cityscapes and harmonizing with urban architecture is at the heart of our design philosophy.
The Next Evolution of Transportation
As we progress through these phases, the ultimate goal is to launch the future of urban mobility.
With both our successful project development collaborations and our pioneering technology developments in place, we envision a world where cities thrive, commuters move effortlessly, and the environment benefits. Our integrated approach ensures that once our technology is ready for deployment, communities everywhere can experience the benefits of our innovative and efficient transportation solutions. By transforming urban mobility, we're not only enhancing the way people move, we're building a future where mobility is synonymous with progress, and we all reap the rewards of healthier communities and a better-connected world.

FAQ
How do I get a ride?
Use an app on your smartphone (or a kiosk) and simply enter your destination. An automated electric vehicle will arrive to pick you up, usually within just a minute or two! You can ride in comfort, non-stop for about the same price as bus fare (or taxi fare if you choose a private ride).
How can my trip be non-stop in a crowded city?
Our main control system knows where every vehicle is, where it’s going, and where it will be a while into the future. Every trip is “pre-calculated” by the control system, and each vehicle is given a “reservation” on the track (guideway) along the entire route. This ensures there is a clear path for you from your origin to destination, without the need for stopping along the way. (If you selected a “shared ride,” you may make a planned stop or two along the way to pick up additional passengers.)
Can automated podcars really be safe?
Over the past few decades, early versions of automated podcars have already logged over 200 million passenger miles without causing any injuries or fatalities. This is a far better track record than any other mode of ground transportation! Next-gen Automated Transit Networks (ATN) are utilizing much better sensors and control system tech than was available in early podcar systems, so safety and reliability will improve even more as we move forward.
Why have I not seen this before?
There are several automated podcar systems operating in the US and around the world, mainly located on airports or campuses. Typically with any emerging technology, it takes time for the technology, cost and need to intersect in such a way that the concept really takes off. We are now at that point! We have the right technology available at an attractive cost, and there is urgent need in every major city in the world.
Isn’t this the same as a monorail?
Definitely not! Monorails are typically heavy vehicles operating on massive elevated tracks – basically a train operating on a very long (expensive!) concrete and steel bridge.
In contrast, our smaller, more personalized vehicles are built using very lightweight aerospace materials, allowing them to be produced at a low cost and to operate with up to 4x greater fuel efficiency than an electric car! Our podcars move quickly and quietly above the streets on a small, slender guideway that weaves elegantly throughout the urban cityscape. Since our system operates on-demand, your ride/route is fully customized — no inconvenient bus/train schedules to deal with and no need to stop at every station along your route!
