The Sentosa Monorail was a monorail system which served as the main means of transportation on the island of Sentosa in Singapore, and has been replaced by the new monorail system, the Sentosa Express. The system was constructed at a cost of S$14 million by Von Roll of Switzerland, who also built the Singapore Cable Car.
The Singapore Cable Car is a three-station gondola lift system that plies between Mount Faber on the main island of Singapore and the resort island of Sentosa via HarbourFront. Opened in 1974, it was the first aerial ropeway system in the world to span a harbour. The cable car system underwent a revamp that was completed in August 2010.
The Sentosa Express is the first system to use Hitachi Rail's small-type, straddle–beam monorail with a capacity of about 184 [4] passengers per train. With a total of seven two-car, 25-metre (82 ft)-long [4] trains of different colours each—namely green, orange, blue, purple, pink, red and yellow; the pink and red trains were added to the ...

Opened on 15 February 1974, it was the second aerial ropeway system in the world to span a harbour , after Port Vell Aerial Tramway in Barcelona ...
The same year, the green light was also given to the construction of the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) following a three-phase study conducted from 1972 to 1982 and a debate on an all-bus system against a bus-rail system. The initial MRT network opened in phases from 1987 to 1990, two years ahead of the original deadline of 1992.
The system is interconnected with the metropolitan train system, Metro de Medellín. In the Chicamocha National Park ( Santander ), there is a tourist cable car system connecting the "Panachi" station with the town of "Meseta de los Santos", across the Chicamocha Canyon .
A key component of the signalling system on the MRT is the automatic train control (ATC) system, which in turn is made up of two sub-systems: the automatic train operation (ATO) and automatic train protection (ATP). The ATC has trackside and trainborne components working together to provide safe train separation by using train detection ...
System Map, including lines under construction. This is a list of all stations on the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) system in Singapore. [1] As of 2024, the Singapore MRT has approximately 242.6 km (150.7 mi) of system length spread across six operational lines, the 19th highest in the world.
