AGT is a straddle monorail?

更新日:11月8日



A mother told her child that Yurikamome is a straddle monorail.
AGT is a straddle monorail?

You may have looked at the title and thought, “What a strange story!"

AGT is a new type of transportation. People often confuse it with monorails.



One day. on the AGT Yurikamome, I

heard a mother tell her child, “This is

a straddle monorail.


The Tokyo Monorail, a straddle

monorail, and the Yurikamome, an

AGT, clearly have different structures

from the floor down. The AGT runs on

a flat track like a highway, guided by

guide rails.

The straddle monorail straddles a

concrete girder about 31 inches wide. In an emergency, AGT passengers can evacuate by walking on the track, but

this is not possible with the monorail.

In Japan, people don’t know much

about these differences.


The mother's words made me think

“How can we make more people

aware of AGT?”  So I started this blog

to share the story of AGT.
