ottobahn GmbH

Ottobahn makes public transportation easy and sexy again – a pleasure to use by people and a pleasure to operate by cities. It’s a suspended railway 10m above today's traffic running on proven railway technology. All trips are direct from start to finish without intermediate stops, making trips very quick. Our patented passive switches reduce downtimes and maintenance costs.The pods combine the comfort of a personal car with the sustainability of public transport. They can be lowered to the ground everywhere along the tracks, eliminating the need for building and maintaining expensive stations.
It is considerably cheaper to build and operate than most other public transport systems as it’s built from standardized prefabricated parts and runs fully autonomously. Photovoltaics can be directly integrated in our infrastructure, enabling us to produce all needed energy ourselves and letting the operators earn money with the surplus.
