TRANSPORT SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC B61B1/00 B61B3/02 E01B25/22 

FIELD: transport engineering.

SUBSTANCE: proposed transport system contains overground train with one car or greater number of cars which move being suspended from rail. Said rail is installed on poles or support high enough not to hamper moving of vehicles and people on road or in street. Said rail is provided with at least two cross breaks at stops to board and let off passengers determining first section of rail from which train is suspended and which is suspended from hoisting means making it possible to move vertically together with train between two extreme positions: extreme upper position in which first section of rail is extension of adjacent sections of rail and extreme lower position in which car, suspended from first section of rail, is either on the ground or near ground making it possible for passengers to board and get out of train car at level of street. At stops in places corresponding to first section of rail, transport system is provided with second rail sections, parallel to first rail section, and having the same length. First and second sections of rail can be moved in side direction along guides or rails replacing each other in position when they are arranged on one line with adjacent sections of rail.

EFFECT: no interference with street traffic, dispensing with expensive parts or members.
