Sky Way String Transport is set to redefine transportation industry in Nigeria, it also present investment opportunities for Nigerians.

Challenges of Urban Transport System in Nigeria

For a fact, an efficient and reliant transport system in any country, is directly proportionate to her economic growth and development. This is so because, transportation convey people and goods (which are main economy drivers) from point A to B.

In Nigeria, urban transport system, which include road transport, railway, air and sea have been handled with stereotype, by successive Nigerian governments; and this much is evident in the moribund results associated with their various transport projects across the country through the years.

Of all modes of transportation, the most used by Nigerians is road transport, and this is also a fact in most countries.

For a city state like Lagos, with an estimated 15 million residents, road transportation has been bedeviled with numerous challenges such as traffic congestion and parking difficulties, longer commuting time, high infrastructure and poorly maintained roads, environmental impacts and energy consumption, accidents and highway robbery.

In addition to the challenges stated, most rural states across Nigeria have also had to deal with accessibility issues. Some states are separated by hills, rivers and forests, and commuting is usually very daunting, as people need to travel miles to reach the other parts of town.

The spate of highway kidnappings that have also recently bedeviled the nation too, though a challenge of security, has also been highlighted as a challenge of road transportation, as most traveler now have their hearts in mouth, wishing the journeys they’re embarking will not be their last.
The challenges are endless. Commuting Nigerian roads now, is a daily nightmare many people are forced to live through, for lack of an alternative from the moribund transport system.

About Sky Way String Transport System

The Sky Way String Transport System has been adjudged, by pundits, as a 21st century solution to the long-standing challenges that the Nigerian transportation system has grappled with, for decades.

This technology uses electrically-propelled steel cables, like strings, to move suspended cars (or cabins) between terminals at different elevation points.
String transport cars are an attractive urban transport solution to connect communities together when geographical barriers such as traffic congestion, hills and rivers make other transport means ineffectual.

Describing the technology in an exclusive interview with Apples Bite Magazine, Dr. Kristiaan Van den Vyver, the President, Skyworld Community Innovation Transport Africa, SCITA, explained that, “The technology is a new technology on string, it is set up from 5 to 50 meters above the ground. The is a new feat in research to find solution to transportation problem around the world.

“It is set up on strings like the guitar, when you take the strings together, the strings are hung from pillar to pillar. On this string, you hang your vehicle, and on this string, you drive the vehicle,” Dr. Vyer explained.
Speaking further, he highlights that these vehicles are powered by gas, electricity et al. In his words, “You can drive the vehicle on diesel, on gas and we can create our own energy; we can create our own electricity. When we drive, inside these special motors, the motors are built in a way that they can create energy. In every situation, when we don’t get enough electricity from the country, the batteries of the motors will take it over, and it can transport you to the next destination,” he heighted.

The company is on a steady ride to take the world over with this wonder in scientific innovation. Currently, the company has this transportation network already set up in Belarus and the UAE, with a plan to further implement this urban and intercity transport system around the world.
