A large number of small departure and exit portals are placed underneath the guideways at approximately every 400 metres or at every city block."

At the selected exit portal, the vehicle enters a deceleration lane where the speed is reduced until it stops at the arrival portal. Individual vehicles are capable of speeds up to 160 kilometres per hour within city limits or 240 kilometres per hour between cities. Check out more for the video of SkyTran.
