The upBUS system is being developed by the Institute of Structural Mechanics and Lightweight Design (SLA), the Chair of High Frequency Electronics (HFE), and the Chair of Production Engineering of E-Mobility Components (PEM). It is based on a detachable passenger compartment that can automatically couple either to a road vehicle chassis or to a cable car suspension. The overall concept and its intended role in urban transport have been previously outlined in the upBUS project article published by Sustainable Bus.
The Bay Wheels bikeshare program, operated by Lyft, expands into East San Jose this summer.
