THE MOST VIABLE
SOLUTION


BYD’s SkyRail provides a high speed, high capacity rapid transit link between the San Fernando Valley and Los Angeles International Airport, with these major attributes:




1Low Construction Cost

SkyRail can cost as little as one fifth the cost of a subway. This is because the SkyRail requires less tunneling, demolition and construction, making it more profitable for operators concerned with the financial burden of building, operating and maintaining a subway system.




2Rapid Construction

The SkyRail prefabricated guidebeams result in a construction schedule as short as 2 years, only one third of the time to build a subway.




SKYRAIL FOR LOS ANGELES

BYD has developed and is already implementing several transit systems using our state-of-the art rapid transit technology —SkyRail— which is extremely well suited for the unique characteristics of Los Angeles.
