Unhappy Bye bye Monorail

The monorail in Sydney is going to be taken down it finishes on the last day of this month. Any fans had better hop on soon.

It will be sad to see it go

I always used it on my visits to Sydney.... Someone told me there is a better way to see central Sydney on a hop on hop of bus though, is that true ?

It is nice for a tourist to take quick trip but was totally useless as a transport system.

Couldn't be extended or integrated to any other transport hub.

I much prefer the plans for an extended tram network, Sydney used to have more tram lines than Melbourne did!

Next year the tram extension will be opening out towards Dulwich Hill way and then it will head down to Circular Quay and eventually back out the the eastern burbs.

A proper tram network will be something many more people can utilise than a monorail tourist merry go round.

Sad to see it go but is the right decision.

They are saying they won't replace it with a tram, they aren't sure what they will do but it won't be a tram!

Sounds like a typical thing tear something down but have nothing in place to replace it with

Is there a tourist bus ? Other than that it's just that round the bay ferry, which doesn't help with the CBD.

The monorail will be dismantled not replaced, it's an ugly railtrack!. Theres a separate plan for trams nothing to do with the mono.

I'll take my last ride this weekend before it's gone 30 june.
