List of monorail systems

Many monorail systems run through crowded areas that would otherwise require expensive tunneling or dangerous level crossings.

Aside from mass transit and people mover systems, a large number of smaller monorails have been built in amusement parks and at zoos.

Only true monorails (vehicle wider than track) are included; see people mover for a list of monorail-like systems.

Systems used primarily for passenger transportation, characterised by enclosed cars, multiple stations and open on a regular basis.
