sky train
Aerial urban transit
A sky train is an elevated railway system, typically running on tracks supported by pillars above street level.
The term often refers to urban transit systems designed to avoid ground-level traffic: We took the sky train from the airport to downtown.
Some cities use Sky Train or SkyTrain as the official name for their elevated rail networks.
