Overhead transports are transportation methods that involve the use of cables, rails, or other structures above the ground. The two most common types of overhead transports are Elevated Light Rail Systems (ELS) and Telescopic Balanced Aerial Ropeway Systems (TBARS). ELS are rail systems that are suspended above the ground, usually on elevated tracks, and are used to transport passengers and goods. TBARS are aerial ropeways that use a series of cables and pulleys to move people and goods from one point to another. Both of these systems are used in urban areas to reduce traffic congestion and provide efficient transportation.
