- Travel from the train stations to Terminal 3 takes eight minutes with vehicles every two minutes[2]
Notable features

- Each vehicle has two linked cars (11 m long, 15 t each) and the driverless system can carry up to 4,000 people an hour per direction[2]
- Each car is 2.8 m wide; one car of each vehicle is reserved for non-Schengen travellers, and the cabins have many folding seats for luggage space and specially designed grab bars[2][3]
- The vehicles run on angled wheels around a guide rail mounted on a concrete surface[2][3]
