About Bishan Sky Shuttle

Developed by BYD, the Sky Shuttle (云巴) is a fully autonomous, rubber-tired elevated rail system. It is another fantastic add-on to Chongqing’s already magnificent metro system.

Since its public debut in April 2021, the 15-kilometer line has served as a vital link between Crt line 1 bishan station and the Bishan high-speed railway station.

With 15 stations in total and a top speed of 80 km/h, this driverless system is specifically engineered to navigate Chongqing’s challenging hilly terrain.
