I find it bizarre that a city would remove a functioning monorail. Were there major technical issues with it? If they took a look at Edinburgh's disasterous tram project they'd realise how valuable an existing system is.
I know they are more conveyancing and efficient than the Light Rail. Sydney's very first new Convention and Inner West Light Rail which officially opened on the 27th March 2014 has had a lot of impact and caused a big headache for small businesses and drivers, and it's also slow and dangerous. The Monorails were more sustainable and efficient because it was in the sky not on the roads.
DAMN! IT TAKES AGES TO BUILD SOMETHING LIKE THAT i HATE SYDNEY ALWAYS SMASHING SOMETHING NICE DOWN FOR THEE SAKE OF SOME CORPORATE BUILDING OR CASINO. THAT'S WHAT THEY DID WITH OUR TRAMS THAT WE HAD INTO THE CITY IN THE 60S.. ALL GONE SAVE FOR A LITTLE TRAM EXCURSION TO REMIND US OF WHAT WE COULD HAVE HAD.
Only such a beautiful and intelligent designed Monorail system will be a solution in Russia for Moscows, Rostovs, Novosibirsk.or Sochis population explosion in future. subways alone will not handle Russias coming population explosion. the cities and urban areas are growing already very fast. it looks in Sydney much better than in many Asian countries. optical it really fits to the city...wow. its really well done.
Sydney is becoming the most boring city in Australia, they are taking away all the good stuff They took dreamwork away and the iconic monorail, now the city is congested with cars buses and dumb light rail Go to Melbourne, there trams system shit all over sydneys , and Sydney drivers get paid less
Sad part, Sydney monorail is no longer in service an has been decommissioned. :'(

bigclivedotcom it cost more to operate than they got revenue from it
bigclivedotcom The units were at the end of their design life and required replacement. Similarly wiring and power supply needed rebuilding.
It was replaced by trams and metro. The monorail was reaching the end of life.
The monorail was too advanced for the idiots back then. Now Sydney is the city equivalent to sliced bread
were the windows open at the back of the monorail
y did the monorail close down?
Yes
It shut down permanently on the 30th of June 2013
Because the Mayor decided for 25 years that it was the most offensive structure since the Cahill Expressway cut off Sydney Harbour. That’s next…
What time was this do you remember?
i hope they bring it back
The NSW GOV. Should bring back the monorail and lay it out on the same route to followed through the city,pyrmont and darling harbour
I really like the Sydney monorail. The Sydney monorail is more than a billion times way better than the new Sydney CBD and South East Light Rail
@@robertoben9412 yeah agree
@@patricknand2434Do you prefer CityRail or Sydney Trains
@@robertoben9412 Sydney trains seems to be run a bit better but i loved the city rail logo
I wish the monorail stayed in Sydney forever it’s a very nice ride

Your wish won't work. Sydney Monorail is unpopular because low ridership, difficult maintenance, and trouble switches.

I totally agree ;-;
@ that took you 8 years to say that? Perhaps I should do some more.
I really like the Sydney monorail it's very good
I feel like Hobart would be a better home for the monorail as they don’t have much transport, only buses.
Am I the only one who just found out about this?!
no
It is just too noisy. The view are amazing, never rode it at night before.

Monorails are a scam
In fact only heavy trains models on monorails had survived, not this light version.
Springfield in The Simpsons had a monorail and that too was a disaster🤣
