Sydney’s monorail is a great way to see many of the main attractions in this beautiful city

that bad is it?.. im from melbourne,, and it looks really cool…
very nice city
.. it is – and the harbour location is really good too ..
=)
Why didn't you video this from the front of the train, or post this video going in reverse, so that it looks like normal, rather than saying goodbye; backwards ?
.. good points! – The front was full of people, but I could have reversed this back view – didn't think of it at the time though ..
Dear G.
Thanks for your response.
Hey, don't worry; now that you said the monorail was crowded.
.
I hadn't thought it was full the place (monorail stops) look a bit deserted.
.
Hope you had a great vacation.
.
Cheers.
from,
del-boy.
I worked on the Monorail system for six years… Who was your Son? Might know him…
As a former worker, I can tell you there ain't anything special at the front of the Monorail, just a driver and a few buttons… That's all… Also have to be careful filming the front, they don't really like it, unless you have Permission…

Monorails are too slow compare with other transportations ,here in los Angeles Disneyland it has been running since 1958 and its too slow for me
.. yes the one in Sydney is more for tourists and the like, who are out for a nice ride. Its not for commuters
Какое удивительное совпадение! Оказывается в тот день и в тот час на мосту, по которому поезд проезжал на 37-ой секунде видео, стоял фотограф, который сфотографировал именно этот поезд! Позже этот снимок был опубликован на 72-й странице русского издания журнала "Топ Гир" за сентябрь 2010 года (в интернет-версии журнала почему-то фигурирует другая страница).
А началось всё с того, что мне очень понравилась эта фотография из вышеуказанного журнала. Начал искать, где же это такое красивое место находится и вот мои поиски закончились на таком удивительном совпадении! metropolis.anthill.ru/gallery/albums/userpics/10168/Sidney.JPG
отлично
This is a great looking monorail track and could be set on top of steel beams incased in a stucco treatment to save water
sydneys roads are too thin for trams
LA needs modern transportation like sydney mate…
If this thing was built bigger and included Circular Quay and it may have been useful. Sadly it became an expensive tourist joy ride. Typical Australia…doing it by half again
Yes, from what I saw, it was mainly used by tourists. It is a bit like Melbourne's City Circle tram, but the tram is free and uses existing track
thanks Giorgio!
Yeah, the monorail will close on June 30 sunday. But I'm not sure where the monorail will be exactly going.
Bye monorail
It's been removed because its depot is in the redevelopment area of darling harbour……it the same reason the trams were removed in the 60s…..it's depot was where the opera house is. They sold the land to developers….not because they didn't do there job.
Surely this is less intrusive than trams down the middle of the road.
I think so! In a couple of years people will look back on this video and wonder why they took it down – IMHO
yeah – bye 🙁
I didn't know that – developers! 🙁
非常好，我已将您的视频发布在中国的网络上，因为中国人看不到youtube。如果您有什么已经请通知我。谢谢！
Umm, the trams were removed for many reasons. None of them valid but it had nothing to do with fort Macquarie depot.
The Monorail was removed because Haymarket station and track were in the way of new development.
The music was so lame… I had to turn the sound off
'peace' brother
I heard it got taken down because of running costs (cost more to run per year than it made).
miss it already.
Thank you for the ride.
In Wuppertal/Germany there is a monorail still in operation – since 1901. It's an important part of public transport, so there is no special ticket needed. So, Sydney seem to have missed an opportunity here.
It's a shame they pulled this down, would have been nice to ride on someday.
