The buses will be equipped with lithium batteries that are recharged along the path with energy from renewable sources (photovoltaic and small wind turbines) that in turn are connected to batteries that allow the storage of the energy produced.
The magnetic levitation monorail travels the paths in perfect silence, it will be equipped with a system of weight control to prevent it from differing too much from the counterweight, the energy required for the bootstrap will be produced by the photovoltaic installations.
The monorail has three functions:
Tourist-naturalistic use aimed at the enjoyment of the landscape for everyone.
Tourist-sports: the addition of pedals to the monorail allows sporting people to "pedal to reach the heights".
Agricultural-economic: replacing the seats with containers, monorails will assist the transport of lemons and other crops products present on the terraces of the coast, helping to repopulate the abandoned ones and the local economy.
