Remarks & Notes |
The Moscow Monorail is a 4.7-kilometres (2.9 miles) long monorail line located in the North-Eastern of Moscow, Russia. The monorail line currently has six stations. Planning of the monorail in Moscow started in 1998. This was a unique project for Russian companies, which did not have prior experience in building monorails. Operation of the monorail is very expensive for the city budget. It is absolutely unprofitable. Moscow city officials announced in May 2017 plans to shut down the monorail and replace with tram service. Plans stipulate dismantling part of its elevated structure starting in 2018, and converting the standing remainder to handle tram tracks. |
