They might be bumpy and rattle a bit, but the views from these trains are wonderful. I've been fortunate enough to ride this line about a decade ago to connect up with the Enoshima Electric Railway. Both systems are very special. Thanks for sharing.
This line is very fun because the train body tilts. It may not be for people who ride it every day, but if you ride it occasionally, that is its appeal.
Thank you for your comment. There have been no reported accidents on this route, so I think there are no problems at present. I guess passengers understand how to deal with it.
@@14ikesan12 Good to hear from you, here in the UK. The worshippers at the altar of 'Safetyism' are natural authoritarians and bureaucrats; who feel human beings cannot be trusted to exercise 'common sense'. We visited Japan seven years ago but - not knowing anyone - could not enjoy the local trains. We used the Shinkansen to get from Tokyo to Kagoshima (I longed to see Sakurajima volcano), stopping at various cities and sights en route. Japan is so beautiful: and as for Japanese design......just exquisite.
@@Mark_Dyer1 Yeah you are so right, remarkable, that these people didn't learn to think for oneself. Since ages, it's a parents duty to teach the young kids what's a risk, a danger and let them grow and develope a kind of sense to deal with situations and going with intelligence through the world and this works expectingly good. Why doesn't people in the Netherlands fall into water canals even there are lot in the cities, even there is no fence around . They learned and developed a common sense for it. These people want to get security fences because they fail to live an autonomous life without any sense or taking responsibility for themself.
Haven't you already reported on this magnetic levitation train? Or maybe I don't remember correctly and saw a video about it on another TH-cam channel... 🤔 It's practically the same as the "Wuppertal suspension railway": ingenious technology that takes up little space - which at most spoils the look of existing cities with its high pillars and tracks... Best wishes 👋
Hmm? Did I do it? I did film it once, but I couldn't ride the whole line, so I thought I deleted the footage. The quality wasn't 4K yet. I guess I've gone numb from old age? Anyway. This is footage from autumn 2024. Well, residential areas in Japan don't really have a sense of the seasons. The wrapping on the trains might change. I've seen the Wuppertal monorail once. From the base of the pillar. Too bad I didn't have a chance to ride it. It was right after the fall incident, but I still wanted to ride it. I'm looking forward to the next opportunity.
Where the platform is located, there is a floor underneath the space where the monorail passes, so people do not fall too far below. There is only a small step between this floor and the platform.
@@14ikesan12 Yes but there is no barrier around that floor. You can step of the platform onto the floor and then there's nothing to stop a kid falling off the sides, it's wide open.
@@normanriggs848 There's nothing wrong with that. Diverse opinions are important for the conversation. I hope you'll continue to feel free to leave comments.
Thank you for creating this nice Video and sharing with us, well done! 👍

Thank you for the ride. Pretty fast means of transport.
It looks like a part of quantum dots.
:)
Another on ground rails.
P. S.
Is still crossing Narita to Yokohama?
Narita to Yokohama?
If you could give me a little more insight into your question, I can write an answer.
Thank you for posting this fabulous clip: and ignore the worshippers of 'Safetyism' down below!

@@Mark_Dyer1 Yes, indeed, and a very nice phrasing, I need to remember that 😅

Where are the electric motors mounted to push the cab forward?
The wheels are located at the top of the arms that suspend the vehicle from the tracks and are directly connected to a motor.
Those stations are scary, looks like a child could easily fall to the ground below.

Mt Fuji from E isle?
The final scene in the video was taken from the observation deck at the top of the monorail station.
短い距離だけど、地域住民の足となる重要な路線なんですよね
コメントありがとうございます。５０年以上、変わらない運輸を続けていることが、この路線の位置づけを物語っているのだと思います。少しくらい延伸しないかな？とは思いますが。
@@14ikesan12
まぁ出発地と到着地を見る限り、延伸はないでしょう。あり得るとしたら大船から金沢文庫方面の鉄道空白地帯を走って京急の駅orJRの駅に向かう通勤通学客の為の路線？
利用客は見込めると思いますよ。横浜市営バスを始め日本全国の路線バスは今、運転士不足により路線バスの運行本数をどんどん減らしてますからね。車社会になって渋滞を引き起こすよりもさっさとﾓﾉﾚｰﾙ建設してﾓﾉﾚｰﾙを利用して貰う方が環境問題にもいいと思いますからね
A lot of vibrating here. Just saying!
Sorry for the vibrations! But it's a fun line to ride.
@@14ikesan12 Sorry, the remark I made was not meant as a criticism. If you took it that way I am sorry. I will try and do better in the future.
