An Israeli company has come up with a unique way to reduce traffic congestion - by designing the SkyTran, a system of pods that run on magnetism and carry their passengers effortlessly above ground.

Israelis are eagerly awaiting the world launch of the electromagnetic levitating taxis built by US skyTran and the Israeli Pavilion at Milan Expo will host the finals of the first international competition for start-ups dedicated to children and adolescents.

In 2015, Tel Aviv will be the first city to test out the world's first hover cars, vehicles that fly above ground and which usually appear in science fiction.
