In 1989, Walt Disney World got a new fleet of Mark VI monorail trains built by Bombardier Transportation.

[3] Shortly after, in 1996, Newark Liberty International Airport opened a Von Roll monorail system to connect all its terminals.

[5] The system suffered from repeated technical difficulties, including parts falling from a moving vehicle, in the first few months of service.

[6] In 2010, the cities of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and São Paulo, Brazil placed orders from Bombardier for its latest Innovia Monorail 300 system.

The Riyadh system is for the new King Abdullah Financial District, which will be a car-free economic hub in the Middle East.

[7] The São Paulo system will be part of the city's mass transit network and serve 17 stations between the residential districts of Vila Prudente and Cidade Tiradentes.

[13] Driverless operation offers many advantages including improved safety, high reliability, shorter headways between trains and lower maintenance costs.

Today, there are multiple production facilities which have produced the trains including Kingston, Canada;[19] Wuhu[20] and Liuzhou,[21] China; Hortolândia, Brazil[22] and Derby, United Kingdom.

In February 2020, the worst accident so far happened: a tire from the train M20 exploded, causing the system to completely shut down while Bombardier technicians looked into what happened, partially reopening ninety-four days later (on June 1)[34] and fully reopening 111 days after the incident, on June 18.
