Mumbai Monorail February 2014

This is India's first monorail, built by Scomi. The monorail was inaugurated on February 1, 2014. It is Scomi's second monorail system and its first monorail with 4 carriages. Soon, the Kuala Lumpur (KL) monorail trains will be expanded from two cars to four cars.

[@mcelzz]

Congratulations Mumbay people ! In São Paulo, Brasil there are building a new monorail also, the Mumbay experience appear a good experience.

After a lots of effort some can make this kind of video. Awesome bro 👍

[@Timsvideochannel1]

This is a well made video giving a good account of the new Mumbai Monorail. It looks similar to the Kuala Lumpur Monorail. On a recent visit to India, I saw new metro lines being constructed in Delhi and Jaipur, the above ground sections are going to give great views over the cities they serve, it seems such a shame that Sydney can no longer be seen from the Monorail. Well done Luke.

[@azharkent]

Timsvideochannel1 Mumbai Monorail looks similar to Kuala Lumpur Monorail because this metro system was built by the same company, Scomi, a Malaysian company.. =)

[@Timsvideochannel1]

Thank you, I didn't know the same company built both monorails....Tim.

[@mjordan233]

the Indian government is not that bad. by 2020, they want metro trains in over 20 cities. the people of India make it bad.

[@azharkent]

Congratulations India for having such a great and modern transportation system.. And thanks to Scomi, a Malaysian's company for developing this great metro rail system for our fellow Asia's neighbour.. =)

[@kpbarbee]

Thanks for the great Monorail video. Especially loved the cab ride (with reverse view!) and the shots showing the switch sliding positions. Well done!

[@Luke_Starkenburg]

Thank you so much! I wish the monorail is turning out better. It looks like they are having trouble running it and opening the extension.

[@transportvlogs2841]

Scomi is a Malaysian company who built the KL Monorail several yrs ago. Now it has helped India to build the Mumbai Monorail! Good lah!

[@cooper7031]

Finally India is updating their train! About time...

[@shalinmodi6748]

Mumbai seems like only city on globe with all modes of local commute. (For all those who feel this is not enough) It does have Metro Local busses (5000+) Taxis Rikshaws And yes Legendary Sub urban railways with 450+ km tracks and more than billion riders every year. Good case study.

[@PurushNahiMahaPurush]

It needs every public transport possible considering the amount of people commuting daily. Metros and monorails are good investments. They will show their results in the next 10-15 years

[@NoName-eq9md]

I wish the trams were still running.

[@KimAPedersen]

Amazing work Luke, well done! This really shows off the capabilities of monorail, I expect Mumbai Monorail will set the example for many, many more in Asia and elsewhere. Your video will definitely help spread the word too!

Really great video mate. I was wondering if there are any tall standpoints, like say 4 or 5 storey buildings, or any buildings that you can get to the rooftops, to get high shots of these monorails?

[@Luke_Starkenburg]

+mancunian4life86 The route is lined with tall building, however, they all have guard shacks. I asked a few places if I could go up to take pictures but was refused. If I could just makes friends with someone that lives in these buildings!

[@Dan0__]

Good video... Thank you! What do they have for emergency exit?

[@Luke_Starkenburg]

Dan O thank you. If the monorail becomes disabled, the riders have to be rescued via ladder. Most modern monorails now have an emergency walkway in between the tracks for the entire route. This monorail doesn’t have that safety feature.

[@Sinemaria]

it's sad to see slums under the monorail line

[@SuReLyUJeSt1]

slums are in every major cities of the world, in america, eurozones, and everywhere else they are called projects or ghetto ... the only difference you see in south asia is that they are obvious and in your face unlike america for example, where they masked by tall building cells which house these poor low income households

[@MissoPOV]

slums is different from an apartment. get your facts right

[@mohdyusuffsharif944]

Misso Productions best effort to be done to eradicate poverty and slums. It is saddened some enjoys extreme wealth but another lives on extreme poverty.I love india.. From kuala lumpur.

[@karanshah5604]

If you dont know this slums have flat screen Tv's, high speed wifi and air conditioning. These people just dont want to migrate to outer suburbs where they have made apartments for them to rehabilitate. They rather rent those apartments out and stay in those slums. Its a conscious choice for many of them. They are greatly involved in politics or they want to live in a tight knit community.

I hope it is maintained properly not just the train but also the pillars etc. already stained and looking 10years old why did they put a bend at 4.44 when they could build anywhere

[@khemrajkubal1217]

they can't .it is aligned in accordance with the roas below.as the roas is narrow they have to build the pillars such that two lanes are proper

[@Luke_Starkenburg]

+Khemraj Kubal yes, it follows the road, and the road takes a slight left curve.

[@dhruv1863]

What's the advantage of this over an elevated two rail train or light rail? It's just as much an eyesore, but it's very slow. This can't be going over 35 mph; the elevated trains in Chicago have a top speed of 55 mph.

[@brucaX10]

.I am from the U.S.A. This rail seems very short. Just about 7 miles . Can someone tell me if there is construction going on to extend the monorail line? 

[@Luke_Starkenburg]

The video (at 0.30 seconds) explains that a second phase of the monorail is under construction and is scheduled to open in 2015. From Wikipedia, 8.9 km is currently operational. When the rest of the line opens, it will be nearly 20 km long. So to answer your question, yes there is construction going on to extend the monorail line. In fact about 95% of the track for the extension is already in place. Most of the stations are in various stages of construction.

[@brucaX10]

thank you...Luke

[@m2010patil]

hey dude no monorail in u.s.a sorry ...........................................

[@silentkiller-pj6dq]

+hanafi tanudjaya The trains are 4 cars long, and the stations are built to accommodate 6 car trains, so there is room for expansion of the train-sets.

[@Luke_Starkenburg]

I agree! All the stations are built to accommodate 2 trains coupled together for a total of 8 cars. Hopefully when the extension opens in 2016 or 2017, ridership will necessitate the need for 8 car trains.

[@MrRevika]

They have 4 cars because in India 🇮🇳 they have always 4 cars in most of worlds

[@Gopal1939]

Why can't they paint the damn thing ? Painted, will look good besides being protected from the elements.

[@mfssayyed5383]

NICE

[@tjejojyj]

Why does the concrete look like it's 10 years old when it just opened. Look especially at the cross beams on the pilons. I'm sure in Luke's video on the Tokyo monorail they are no worse than this and they're 50 years old. Also, those turns look really tight and the speed isn't high; the chisel front of the vehicle is just excessive faux-aerodynamics. Thanks for another great video. BTW. If you want to see and India stand-up comic taking the piss out of the monorail here it is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5KtkImCoaeDgdE

[@mumbai3008]

It looks 10 years old because it probably took that much time to build. And there is no concept of painting in India. So because of the dust even in one year it looks as if its 10 years old.

[@cyrussnyc]

Heavy rain does that to any concrete.

[@Luke_Starkenburg]

For one, heavy rail would not fit down some of these corridors. This is also true for the exertion due to open this year, with lots of tight turns and narrow streets. Also, my video shows the monorail in the first week of operation, where thousands of people were riding the monorail just to experience this new form of transportation in Mumbai.

[@TheGrateful108]

Actual speed with all these turns - 20 miles/h, only theoretical in a strait line is 80. These are slow Cattle wagons, waste of money High speed design should be totally different, like a hybrid of the Roller coaster and transportation with special high speed safety seats. Train should be high speed moving non stop and consists of smaller pods joining/departing from train at the stops electronically operated. Only in such a way you can move lots of people fast. It should be a totally different from a regular tram mode of transport. Each group of people should be able to dial their destination at their pod and let the electronic system manage the flow non stop. Each pod should make only one destination stop and not other people stops, otherwise it's a waste of time and energy. First you speed the train, then stop at each stop, so the resulting speed is slow + turns kill speed further. This is not the way to design an efficient transport. It should travel at high speed even at turns like roller coaster.
