A String Transport System can be built for approximately 50% of existing railway construction costs. It is fully automated, with an elevated track structure that protects and preserves the natural environment with low noise and vibrations and with no obstruction to fauna. It is a sustainable transport network with low emissions, low energy use, minimal land disturbance and low consumption of construction materials. Recent natural disasters in Australia have rendered many transport systems ineffective, however the String Transport technology is all weather operational, which would mean no down time during floods, earthquakes and cyclones.
