Sad it was not expanded to more of the city of Sydney area.

[noob.]

That's a cute little monorail you guys got going there.

The electrification was at 500 V AC, from the power rail.

Не перестаю восхищаться актуально необычной архитектурой станций монорельса Сидней. Да и скоростью тоже, если сравнивать с московским монорельсом...

I thought this was Cities: Skylines :p
It's a pity that Sydney decided to remove their monorail

I like monorel in Sydney. I already tried. Amazing. Nice station in building was people parking own car. We need monorel if want to go far building or mall but can't use car. Can't imagination. In Singapore also have in Sentosa Island. I saw near Universal Studios. I go there by taxi.

The first monorail in Australia was installed at Seaworld on the Gold Coast in 1986, followed by this one in 1988 and then came the one at Broadbeach on The Gold Coast in 1989. Ironically, the first one at Seaworld is the only one left.

Thanks for sharing, we film gopro walks mainly in soulful cities in Europe, so it's great to have others guiding us through places we will probably never get to see. Thank you, I enjoyed traveling around with you and seeing these spaceagy scenes.

Great video!  Does a fantastic job of showing how transportation can fit into a dense urban area in a minimal way.

Eyesore?  Compared to an elevated freeway?  An elevated train track?  Buses and cars stuck in street level traffic, spewing toxic exhaust?  I agree the monorail needs to actually go somewhere useful, but I will take "eyesore" over air pollution and being stuck in street level traffic.

At the 3:50 mark in the video, the driver never looks forward, as he is engrossed in his conversation with the lady behind him!  This is the same location where one train rear ended another train.  Another interesting observation is that when I was there in January 2013, the trains just crawled at around 15km/h on that stretch of track descending toward the Darling Park Station.  In your video, they monorails are running at a pretty good clip, something like 30km/h down the slope.

The old route should have been a elevated walkway.

Looks like the same rolling stock as the Newark AirTrain.

Sydney is a wonderful city, a great city with no god damn monorails.

I'm just saying, it's a great feature for people that travel through the city so they don't have to go with crowds, now that we're getting more populated.

And it would be great if the just spent money to expand or add lines to the monorail instead of Sydney Metro, because what's the point of windows when you're technically always underground or looking at trees and houses? At least with monorail, you get to see more of the city up higher

So stupid they got rid of it. That was a huge feature for tourists in Sydney. Rich tenants complained about the noise, and yet they didn't replace it with anything or extend it, it was just sold off as a meeting room at google and a museum. Meanwhile they'll never be able to build anything like that again with the money and laws they need to put in place around future properties. Sydney screwed itself.

Grandioso video, me gustaria utilizar 10 segundos de tu video para complementar un video de un modelo a escala de Moorail identico al de Sidney. Espero me autorices el uso y por supuesto cuenta con tu respectivo credito en el video. Saludos desde Morelia, Mexico.

[tonysmith]

They should have extended the monorail to circular quay, down the eastern side of the city up william st to the cross and back up oxford st to liverpool st

[ismailyahiaoui]

I am coming to Australia, which city is best for living and working

[brianmcgill]

It’s a shame they tore it down, It was one of the main attractions.

[davidmayhew]

Leave it to Sydney to be smart enough to keep such a delightful idea alive in the world. But please get rid of the ads on the train. Tacky.

[meerabains-]

I want it back. No I NEED the monorail 🚝 back.
