Okinawa Urban Monorail

The line supports payment via paper tickets or OKICA, the local contactless smart card; additional support for the ten major Japanese IC cards (such as Suica and SUGOCA) began on 10 March 2020.

[3][4] The monorail's "Yui Rail" brand name and logo were selected in a public competition.

[1] Trains (made by Hitachi Rail and Kawasaki Heavy Industries Rolling Stock Company under the former's monorail lineup) are made up of two or three cars, with 65 seats and a total capacity of 165 people.

[8] After lengthy deliberation of possible route options, the monorail corporation applied for construction permission for a 4.1 kilometers (2.5 mi), 4-station extension from Shuri Station to Tedako-Uranishi Station (Urasoe City) in August 2011.

Revenue operation along the extension started on 1 October 2019, using a revised schedule with extended rush hour headways for opening day.
