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. 

"The uBus travels as specified in the test standards and procedures. The speed is increased systematically in 10 km/h intervals and receives safety confirmation. 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.

• spacious interior: 8 seats and accessibility for passengers with disabilities;
• 360° view;
• improved door design;
• automated climate control system with increased capacity;
• two-stage air suspension;
