The uSky uBus Karat Carried the First Passengers
At uSky Test and Certification Centre in Sharjah, the 25-seat uBus Karat U4-212 made runs with its first passengers. The flagship uBus traveled along the track at a speed of more than 40 km/h.

We have previously tested the uPod at speeds of more than 50 km/h. Today, a base speed of 40 km/h is allowed for rides with passengers. Next, we plan to test the Karat in different speed modes," said Vitaly Lapkovsky, Chief Designer of Rapid Transport Complex at UST Inc.
