Fun fact: the road that the monorail mainly runs over actually used to be land for a proposed train line--that's why it's (relatively) straightforward and wide.
I don't understand why this isn't more common in cities around the world where the streets are narrow and terrain isn't level. I actually think that a suspended monorail can supersede a tram in many places due to the many aspects during construction like for example whether the roadbed and the utilities beneath it can withstand the weight of a tram and then there is the million dollar question: why would anyone wish to mix public transportation with common traffic as it only adds to the congestion on the streets.
I love public transportation that is completely grade separated. No waiting for or adding to traffic. It's also safer as there is no chance of collisions with cars or pedestrians.
@@Luke_Starkenburg Well, the goal of public transit should be in the end to get more people off the roads. I don't really like it when public transit has to respect the cars as prime traffic element, even though cars are less efficient in almost every category.
@@RailwayScholar trains that run in streets with cars are not efficient and that defeats the purpose it makes both driving and public transport inefficient so everyone loses
@@qjtvaddict but making space for cars is always inefficient in the long run. Just banning car traffic on a few roads and giving it to a tram is best. Sure, suspended railways are an option, but they are more expensive in construction and maintenance, and once we get rid of cars completely, the streets below will be empty and unused.
Riding it is amazing. There is a small window in the floor so you can look straight down if you want. It’s a bit like flying above the traffic. Great views too.
This is easily one of the coolest forms of public transportation I've ever seen. Very scenic, quiet and peaceful, really wish we had some in the US! Definitely on my bucket list to ride someday.
I rode this in April, 2023. I was trying to get from the vicinity of Enoshima Island back to Yokohama, and was surprised when Google Maps directed me to take it rather than the Enodan. Had no idea it was one of those hanging monorails until I got to the station. Kind of a bumpy ride, but still a lot more interesting than a train or streetcar.
It’s interesting that when I rode the Chiba Monorail, it is the same technology except that it’s newer and is double track. The Chiba monorail is quieter and smoother.
Hi.thank you for your cool Video of shonan monorail.i like it very much and its partner of Wuppertaler Schwebebahn since a few years.i live both.greetings from austria/Vienna.
this is a great idea, it dont have to build a platform on the land/road but build a pole with the track at the side, this way u dont have to waste money try to reconstruct the road to build a platform for the train to ride but my question is that the train only go one way using one track to go back and fort? do i only have to wait for that one train?
Nice video. We expect this system to Sri Lanka. Japan started project about this. But Sri Lankans politics end it. But we will expect this to be resumed. Thank you for this video. I'm from Sri Lanka.
As always Luke, thank you so much for documenting and sharing your experience! I didn't go to Shonan (or Chiba) on my trip to Japan a few years ago... but they're now at the top of my list when I go back some day!
I really like the idea that monorail or tram or people mover or even little mrt should across the houses and real estates in order to move more people to the city center or their places, make things easier.
I don’t know. I’m guessing max of 10 trains at a time, maybe 12. There are 4 stations with 2 tracks for passing. There are 2 stations with a single track, so no passing. Finally there are 2 end terminus stations.
The Shonan monorail is the cheapest rollercoaster you can get in Japan! You will see what I mean travelling the 5 minutes prior to arriving at Enoshima station. Love it.
Is 5601 is the lowest number??? If so you are lucky to catch it! One thing is really interesting is that the Numbers are 5601 the back is 5602 front is 5603 back is 5604 but what about the middle car ??? What is the number of that ? In Hungary the suburban railways are like this we have like this 911 middle car 656 and the end is 952! CAN you Tell me the middle car Numbers if it has any ? Thanks ☺️

This is oddly satisfying and really jaw dropping 😲
Beautiful
this is totally my ASMR just floating along the Japanese countryside in a suspended monorail train car.....BLISS

Oi you! Get back to making clever comments on HIGNFY videos 😁😂
Absolutely agree with you. This looks such a peaceful way to travel about the place 😀
This is countryside to you???
Imagine having a job being a conductor on one of these, it would be such a pleasant and enjoyable job. I would never hate going to work.

Japan has lots of Cool monorails and trains
I have never been in japan and did not interested much about japan media
But this video is so calming and somewhat familiar
Feel like i live there
Maybe in a previous life! lol
Thank you.
Hi
Sk and Japan are decently similar maybe thats why
Superb capture..
Can I use this video in my train compilation video credit to you in video will be given
Thank you, and sorry for the delay. You have my permission if you credit me. Thanks!
@@Luke_Starkenburg Thank you so much...

I love this train I wanna ride it i will come to Japan once to ride love from india
@RedOx nope I wanna explore it
I'm also from india
Fucker why don't we make this shit india
We have this in Mumbai
You can go into mumbai monorail
That looks awesome ! :)
I was travel with this vedios without any charges
I like this place climate is nice and location beautiful
This is so relaxing and makes me want to live in Japan
I particularly like seeing where the trains wait for each other in the stations - while the switches are activated. Excellent video Luke!
खूपच सुंदर आणि मस्त आहे👌👌👌
I just love these trains because there’s the possibility of it falling
Fascinating & interesting at the same time.
For me, cityboy,this is how to chill out.Love the vibe.
This seems to be the exact suspended monorail featured at the beginning of the anime "Just Because."
Beautiful........really loved it.....LOL from KERALA....India.......❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
fantastic friends
I enjoy watching beautiful...i like it

Thanks for the ride ... or should I say ... glide?
A great experience (Ian Hendry) indeed ... 😊

Beautiful sharing👍
Amazinf monorail!!...see ya from 🇧🇷✌
No zoning restrictions, businesses next to homes next to apartments next to whatever will fit.
Maybe the USA should get rid of zoning restrictions and let people have true freedom
@@qjtvaddict Houston gets as close.
this looks like a very cool ride!
I love take it just to have fun flying in the sky
i tried the schwebebahn in wuppertal...it was nice!
If I was sitting inside this train. I will surely close my eyes and enjoy the journey
Waho...v nic beautiful...so nic
As always Luke, thank you so much for documenting and sharing your experience!
I didn't go to Shonan (or Chiba) on my trip to Japan a few years ago... but they're now at the top of my list when I go back some day!
I cannot wait to see an anime version of this
I literally searched this because I saw it in the anime "Just Because". I had to verify whether it really exists or not 😅
Anywhere else in the world that tunnel would have been heavily graffitied or someone playing chicken with the train. Nice video.
I really like the idea that monorail or tram or people mover or even little mrt should across the houses and real estates in order to move more people to the city center or their places, make things easier.
Wow!!! That's amazing.....I would love to go to Japan.... anybody's house to stay in?
You know there are also monorails in Germany too (they invented the concept) in Duesseldorf, Dresden, Dortmund and Wupperthal. And one in Memphis
Man are you Indian?

How many trains on track at a single time?
I don’t know. I’m guessing max of 10 trains at a time, maybe 12. There are 4 stations with 2 tracks for passing. There are 2 stations with a single track, so no passing. Finally there are 2 end terminus stations.
Normally there are 5 trains at a time on weekdays.
Some lines have more than one track.
Great work great idea
Keren pemandangannya sama jalan raya sepi bnget ngga kayak di indonesia macet
this monorail systen is as beatiful as ours in wuppertal (schebebahn), but simpler build in some ways !!
I guess you could say that the Schwebebahn is the predecessor, but I think the Shonan monorail works a bit differently compared to the Schwebebahn

I got anxious when i read this comment haha
похоже
That part was fast
Very nice.
this video is so good my friend
Very good it its above the street. It doesn't need to block traffic. Way more efficient than a bus.
Thank you bro for ride I am from india
That's joy ride
I am so unlucky that I can give only one like
india is a shithole
Whoa over head Train ,what happen if it derails.

I had not chance to experience with monorail in Japan during 4 months satay in Japan in the 2016. I love Japan from Kurdistan.
Fascinating!!!
What is d speed of these things... Looks cute.. but slow I think?....
For the Shonan Monorail, the maximum speed is 75 km/h.
@@sotsora8000 tq bro.....
Very amazing video I am from Pakistan and your country ?
Tbh I would be scared to go on this in case it just fell lol
We could use this in Sydney
We could use this in Melbourne.
Amazing.

nyc could use this
I think a suspended monorail going from Chelsea Market and then all the way up 10th to 72nd with various stops along the way would be great.
excellent train
Is it safe ?
Yes it is
E se acabar a força ou a bateria como que faz eu em tem que ficar pendurado lá em cima e se dá um pé de vento e aí como fica em
