1. Conventional railway provides for heavy steel coaches to protect people .
2 . So carry more steel and dead weight instead of people.
1 . Sky Bus has no such problem, no derailment nor capsizing; hence uses very light weight coaches and carries more people.
2 . using much less dead weight
With total weight of 48T, a railway can carry only 70 persons in 20m length
Sky Bus with the same weight & length carries 300 persons comfortably
