Daegu Monorail Route Overview

The Daegu, South Korea Monorail, opened in 2015, is a good example of a modern, high capacity monorail system. It was built by Hitachi and is fully automated with the use of safety monitoring staff. The entire line is elevated and has 3 impressive bridges.
This video was a bit overwhelming to edit due to the shear amount of footage I took when I visited in 2019. I'm sorry for taking such a long time to put this out.

Nice video - a good balance between train-focussed and scenery focussed shots. I also find it soothing to watch because of the way the trains seem to glide effortlessly along.

[@Luke_Starkenburg]

Thank you!

[@Daren_PNW]

I couldn't finish it but what splendor & cinematography! =) I'm sure Kim's got a big ol' smile on his face in his grave if he saw this. Love the various angles of the system and how you added different details to the views. Awesome system! Yeah, those bridges are really unique; the various methods of cable-stay construction plus the different column designs.

[@Luke_Starkenburg]

I thought of Kim and Carol when I was there and also when I was editing the video. I know that the video is too long, but I cut out so many good shots already! I sat for 2 months with the video clips in the editing software before I could even bring myself to start editing seriously, so lazy and intimidated. I'll probably make a 5-6 minute version at some point.

[@luniaenglundt4904]

Another Monorail. No better way to start the day. Great editing!

[@Luke_Starkenburg]

Thank you! I wish I could have made it shorter. I think I’ll make another “best of” video.

[@hughmnyks]

Beautifully put together, just in time for my visit to Daegu this week. Good things take time! You captured it so well, including the music, which cuts off so mercilessly after a specific number of seconds… the slow-mo of the switch… watching trains negotiate curves! Excellent!

[@Luke_Starkenburg]

If you liked that, take a look at another, much shorter video I made! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqSohWWQq6poh9Esi=rBYYWcCXX4wkoU9s

[@Luke_Starkenburg]

Thank you for the comment! I really enjoy making these videos. I have several other videos from Daegu! Are you going to vacation or work? I had people look at me strange when I told them I was there on vacation. It’s not a city that many Americans visit, unless they are working there.

이분 대단하신게 구간 순서대로 편집해서 올림 ㄷㄷ...

[@tjejojyj]

Good video. It’s six years old but the vehicles and stations still looks brand new. Interesting at 8:17 the logo for the monorail shows a five car train, not the actual three cars.

[@Luke_Starkenburg]

Yes, but the stations can only accommodate a 3 car train. It looked like some clip art, not really a true representation. Thanks for the comment!

[@MatsOrmhed]

Very nice and interesting video!

[@strassenbahnfilmguy9306]

So cool ... almost unbelievable .

[@hammmmms]

great video！

[@Luke_Starkenburg]

Thanks!

[@hh.yyoon3]

Wow.. I live in Daegu, so I've been to all of them! But what was more surprising was our apartment.

Thanks for introducing my city!

12:08 French TGV-K trains with Japanese Hitachi monorail train.. how interesting

[@mariateresabozos.4270]

¡BELLO, BELLO, BELLO, MUCHAS GRACIA !......

[@jasonervoes1326]

The monorail is awesome 😊

[@Luke_Starkenburg]

I love monorails and also automated trains so this is exiting because it is both! I just wish it had a higher speed.

[@미정김-f7h]

애청자입니다^^혹시 3호선이보이는 카페는 어느역인지 알수잇을까요?

[@Luke_Starkenburg]

I wasn't looking that closely, but I thought these carts were for emptying sidewalk garbage and recycle bins. Oops! Thanks for your comment!

Vídeos muito bom !

[@titomendez9947]

There's only one line?

[@sml111]

Daegu has 3 lines, but other lines are subway. Only, 3rd line is like that, monorail train.

Thank you!

[@스키야마우소츠키]

대구3호선을 잘 촬영하고 편집했네요. 3호선은 일본 히타치제품입니다. '히타치'는 고구리 (고구려)말이고 현대 한국말 '해돋이' 에 해당하는 말입니다.

[@gradientgamer5480]

ATS checkup and still testing

[@Luke_Starkenburg]

I am going to release a video soon. Recently, they were doing a lot of work on the stations. Men were standing on the track in front of the open screen platform doors, working on the floor of the station. Interesting... they seemed to be also working on the signaling system.

[@gradientgamer5480]

@@Luke_Starkenburg thats a good thing to hear :)

[@LEOPARTY18]

What is the speed? look very slow

[@Luke_Starkenburg]

Top speed of around 80km/h (50mph). I would like it if monorails had higher speeds. I want to see the slow/medium speed urban maglevs which have an operating speed of 160km/h (100mph).

[@LEOPARTY18]

Thanks!

So it was built by Hitatchi- no wonder they look similar to Japanese monorails!

[@2025ucross]

The fact is that only one set of train was made by Hitatchi.

[@auxiliarypowerunit]

@Kaiser Rules Oh, thats news to me. Thanks for letting me know!

True

[@ink2181]

위의 댓글에 뜬금없는 시비를 거는 한국인들이 있지만 -_-; 일본 오키나와 나하 모노레일 , 중국 충칭 모노레일 그리고 대구 3호선까지 일본 히타치(日立)의 기술이라서 외관이 비슷합니다. 건설 전에는 말이 많았지만 2015년 완공 이후 꽤 잘 이용하고 있습니다. 아쉬움이 없는 건 아니지만 타 지역 도시철도에 비하면 그래도 꽤 양호한 도시철도.
