SHANGHAI plans to build a “hanging railway” to transfer passengers between commercial, port and riverside areas, the service provider of the railway said today.

The suspended, driverless passenger suspension railway known as H-Bahn has been used in Dortmund and Dusseldorf, Germany, since the 1980s.

The network will be built in Jing’an, Yangpu and Baoshan districts, Germany-based Air Train International announced today at the Rail Metro China 2015 exhibition.
