Monorail

MHI's suspended monorail has been in successful passenger service for over 30 years. The suspended monorail has the unique advantages of maximizing the efficient use of public space, providing safe, reliable and quiet operations in all weather conditions (i.e. snow, ice, heavy rain) due to its enclosed running gear.

Town-Liner/Chiba Urban Monorail

The Chiba Urban Monorail System, the largest monorail system in the world, commenced operation in 1988 as a public transportation link to connect residential areas and public institutions in the city of Chiba, Japan. In 1991 the system was expanded with a second line, and has grown to become an integral means of transportation of great value to the citizens of Chiba City.

Crystal Flyer

Mitsubishi offers the recently restyled "Crystal Flyer" suspended monorail system, incorporating its service-proven components into a sleek, modern vehicle design providing unrivalled safety and performance, as well a fully unobstructed view for its passengers. The monorail system can be fully integrated into new or existing surroundings, providing enjoyable and seamless transportation.

Shonan Monorail/Enoshima Line

The Shonan Monorail System has been in successful operation for 30 years in Japan connecting a resort area with residential districts and a heavy rail station. The suspended monorail technology was selected because its enclosed guidebeam allowed for quiet operation through the surrounding residential environment.

SKYRAIL (Small-Size cable-driven Monorail)

Combining the advantages and proven technology of the suspended monorail and a ropeway gondola lift, the "SKYRAIL" is an innovative transit system that uniquely meets the needs of short distance applications. As the SKYRAIL offers high service performance and cost/space efficiencies, it is ideally suited for relatively short distance applications (2-3 km) in residential or resort areas.
