To couple a vehicle pod to a magnetic vehicle guidance system, a suspension system is provided which is arranged to couple certain degrees of freedom between the vehicle pod and the guidance system, and uncouple other degrees of freedom. More specifically, along a travel direction, forces are coupled between the guidance system and the vehicle, whereas the five other degrees of freedom are uncoupled. This uncoupling provides less disturbances to be transferred from the guidance system to the vehicle pod providing a smoother ride. The suspension system comprises one bogie on each side with a centre member provided between the bogies. The bogies have one translational and one rotational degree of freedom uncoupled relative to the centre member which may compensate for unevennesses in the guidance system.
