1. A transport system for a light weight passenger vehicle having a cabin structure supported by one of rotating bases with drive axles and wheels, and gliders with leading magnets of a magnetic railway, comprising a minimum of two supporting points disposed on opposite sides of interconnected ring frames through which the light weight passenger vehicle can pass, the ring frames including a plurality of basic rings (1, 1a), on which at least two tracks (2, 3), including lower tracks and upper tracks, are bonded so as to support the passenger rail vehicle, the at least two tracks (2, 3) being disposed vertically on opposite sides of the basic rings (1, 1a) so as to simultaneously support the rail vehicle on the lower tracks and hang the rail vehicle from the upper tracks, the plurality of basic rings (1a, 1a) are connected together into a cylindrical cage tube-shaped member (21) by longitudinal beams (12, 13, 14, 15, 18) and transverse bonds (19), tracks of a multi-rail railway being disposed in the tube-shaped member (21), said tracks also including side tracks (20) bonded on opposite lateral sides of the basic rings, and further comprising means (4a, 4b, 4c, 4d, 4e, 4f) for supporting the tube-shaped member (21), wherein the supporting means includes vertical support members (4b) shaped as double columns connected on an upper side by a horizontal beam (11), with supported lower central longitudinal beams (12) and lower side longitudinal beams (14) interconnected by horizontal bars (17), as well as vertical bars (16) with which upper central longitudinal beams (13) and upper side longitudinal beams (15) are connected, the beams and bars being bonded to the basic rings (1) so as to form a grill support structure of the tube-shaped member (21) that is connected to the upper side of the vertical support members, wherein the basic rings (1) are connected to the horizontal frame beams (11) of the double columns (10) by the lower central longitudinal beams (12) and lower longitudinal side beams (14) to which the basic rings are bonded by the transverse bonds (19), the basic rings being interconnected by longitudinal side beams (18), and being bonded by the transverse bonds (19) with the upper central longitudinal beams, so as to form a support structure.
