Kathmandu Podway — Nepal’s first smart, eco-friendly pod transit system!

Kathmandu Podway Infrastructure

Kathmandu Podway offers a state-of-the-art transport and infrastructure solution designed to integrate seamlessly with the city’s existing urban landscape while addressing its mobility challenges. The system is capable of forming an overhead transit network that connects high-rise buildings, enhancing accessibility and reducing ground-level congestion. Passenger terminals are equipped with modern stations and service systems to ensure efficient and comfortable travel. Where required, these terminals can also accommodate cargo and luggage handling facilities, control rooms, and maintenance zones to support comprehensive operational needs.

Terminals (stations)

Stations Hardware

Maintenance area

Designed to carry out a range of activities that ensure the technical readiness of rail electric uPods throughout the entire life cycle

Power supply complex

Includes technical facilities and devices (electric substations, contact network, electrical insulator system, power grids, etc.) that provide power supply to power-consuming infrastructure facilities, as well as to the rolling stock on electrified track structures

Utilities and engineering equipment

Includes pipelines and cables for various purposes (water supply, sewerage, heating, power supply, communications, etc.) laid in the territory of the transport complex and (if necessary) nearby settlements to ensure the life cycle of the complex

Stations, garages with repair shops, and terminals for uST transport are designed and implemented by the string technology, which provides easier integration into the existing urban environment as compared to conventional forms of transport
The elegant string rail overpass as well as stations and the garage with repair shop, individually designed with consideration of specific terrain and expectations of the customer, will not conflict with the architecture of the settlement, but will favorably complement it. The principle of modularity allows the passenger terminals to fit organically into the surrounding landscape. At the same time, the existing communication networks can be integrated into the string rail, which will allow to visually “decongest” the city. There is a possibility to expand the infrastructure by including cafes, stores, entertainment centers, ATMs, pharmacies, etc.

By integrating these features, Kathmandu Podway fully satisfies the demands of modern intercity passenger transport systems.

Podway is an innovative, elevated transport system based on string rail technology developed by Unitsky String Technologies (UST). It consists of automated, driverless pods that travel on specially designed suspended tracks above ground, offering a sustainable, safe, and efficient alternative to traditional urban and intercity transportation.

Unlike conventional systems, Podway:

Reduces land use and environmental impact

Minimizes traffic congestion

Operates with high energy efficiency

Is scalable for both low-density and high-capacity routes


The system is ideal for modern smart cities, tourism zones, mountainous regions, and areas where conventional transport faces infrastructure challenges.
