Beautiful Monorail system and Daegu has grown into a beautiful city. I was in the US Army and I was stationed near Uijongbu in 1962 to 1963. South Korea is also a beautiful country. GOD BLESS this country and the people.
i dont mean to be off topic but does anybody know of a trick to get back into an instagram account?? I was stupid forgot the account password. I would love any help you can offer me.
I have ridden this Monorail. I remember that whenever the train passed areas where residents had requested privacy from people on the train, the side windows turned opaque and when that section passed the windows cleared. I thought it was pretty impressive.
We were very lucky with beautiful weather. My wife and I especially enjoyed exploring the new neighborhoods along the river in the northern portion of the monorail (seen in my other daytime Daegu Monorail video). Hope you enjoy living there Clinton!
Awesome, diverse route and footage - thanks Kim!! Some viewing info for others: Nice cable-stay bridge crossings at 9:45, 22:05 & 23:50. O&M facility off-camera, located down the road behind terminus station (I wish Google would drive through here... lol!).
The most striking feature of this monorail is that there was no altitude change from the beginning to the end. It is entirely flat monorail. You do not need a powerful electric motor to run.
Great system , just doesn’t seem that busy when shot hopefully in the 6 years since thing’s have improved , but I still can’t work out why they built it over 3 stories high though,
BigLoveDavid My pleasure. The more we show successful monorails like this, the more chance they will spread. However, we still more 'troops' to fight for them in countries still stuck on trains in traffic or in expensive underground tubes.
***** I agree how do we gather this data base of interested folks and keep the social media aspect of promotion going. I can creat a database something simple. Name and Email Address and Zip code for regional demographic info. Each time there is somthing to share send it to everyone and ask them to pass it along and encourage other folks to join in to the conversation.. One thing I do know is that Politicians really can't argue with a support network if it is large enough.
Primarily in US and Canada where light rail (do not get confused with LRT in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur; their systems are completely different from North American light rail) aka LRT advocacy for new construction is still strong. In cities such as Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, that won't be much of a concern.
Very nice scenery and ride. I wish we had a monorail here. We have a lite rail system which is at grade level. An above grade would have been much better and less expensive to built. It also would have worked out better while in the downtown section as to not interfere with street traffic. Thanks for taking the time to create and post your video. :)
Your English is much better than my Chinese, no worries! Chongqing Monorail is the largest in the world, and is featured prominently in my book, 'Monorails: Trains of the Future-Now Arriving.' Thank you again for your comment. :-)
Thank you for uploading, this is sure one of the most exciting cab rides I have ever seen. The view from that line is breathtaking. Such an interresting city. Also I love that you used these lenses, so we can see even more. I also found it really interresting that they build those two stations in the north threw such rural areas. Does anyone knows why? Great video.
Hello. I'm daegu citizen. the rural area you said....actually the last station of 3 line (monorail) locates kyungpook national university hospital nearby and a little government office military troops..
It’s a good idea, but it’s expensive. I’d say investing in light rail is preferable, if Sydney had gone in that direction they could’ve built a network more than double the size of the monorail. Houston would work the same way, and most of your streets are wide enough to mean replacing two lanes with train tracks isn’t all that serious.
In addition, it's an unmanned-controlled monorail so you can sit at the very front seat. (But actually that seats are rarely empty because many of users want to seat there lol). Since I live in Daegu and also use this monorail a lot, I think it would be wonderful to see the view at night especially when you cross the bridge. Then you can see the bridge which are reflected by the light. Except for complicating transfer system and short length(I understand because stations are not that long), I guess it would be a great chance to take this monorail.
Great video. Perhaps the highest quality video I've seen of Daegu 3 yet. Any chance you could upload a fast-forwarded (to about 3~4 mins.) version as well? It'd allow viewers to experience the entire trip without spending too much time.
Very nice video! I enjoyed watching it. Is there staff onboard each train? I heard you trying to convince someone to let you keep the camera there until the last station! I'm glad they let you!
Luke Starkenburg Yes, there are observers on each train. Daegu Metro is being very cautious with their new system, monitoring everything in the early operation to insure safety as they transition. I never saw the control panels exposed however, there is a cover that slides off a panel to allow for manual operation.
Also one to note. How well it looks. Not "unsightly" as some say they are. Also to be able to go over Red Lights, what more could a person want out of a transit system?
Seems extremely quiet and smooth! What are the stations like? Does it take a long time to get to ground level? Is there a second level where you can cross to the other side?
@@thastayapongsak4422 Shanghai does have a Maglev line connecting their international airport to a metro transfer station near downtown which converges four subway lines. I've ridden their Maglev train once, pretty fast, top speed is up to 430km/hr. But the Maglev line is not commercially sustainable. Its system length is only 30km in total, because construction costs and operating costs are super expensive.
Monorail is a step in the right direction. I believe PRT would be more beneficial as there is no dwell time for people. You get on and do not stop until your destination is reached. Its the same footprint of monorail but on demand rather than scheduled stops.
Hello from London England 🇬🇧, I may never have the chance to visit Canada, this looked to be an engineering feet greeting it all up in the sky, we may never have system like yours, think that the soon to be opened Elizabeth Line in tunnels under Centre London could have been monorail instead to speed up infrastructure and reduce costs 🇬🇧.
This is a good Transportation for the people of Dae-Goo. But this isn't all of what can be built. "Suspension/Suspended Type Monorail" is more idealistic in a country where the efficient use of small space is needed. In case of japan, they are built on a normal two lanes road assisting regular traffic flows. The concrete Pillars/Posts/Beams are installed on the side of the road that can hold the elevated rail so stable that they can last a few hundred years. And the Rail Station is also built right next to regular commercial buildings so that the passengers can get on and off anytime. The suspension type monorail is very quiet and you feel like you are flying at times. All these pieces must fit together for the monorail to be effective means of transportation. And that is something that the advanced countries will NEVER tell you how. It's about time for the Koreans to build "Suspension Type Monorail" with Korean engineering.
I wish they would have made the stations long enough to accommodate 2 trains coupled together, or at least 4 or 5 cars for future expansion. Do you know what the monorail frequency can be if they use all available trains?
Luke Starkenburg I believe I read somewhere that Daegu Monorail has been designed for very short waits between trains. I know at peak times we never waited longer than five minutes.
+qjtvaddict A simple way of comparing: watch this video and imagine a light rail along the same alignment. Think of all the conflicts with traffic and pedestrians. Think of all the stops LRT would make at intersections. Look at the speed that monorail covers this distance. Economically, monorails are capable of operating at a profit, light rail isn't. There are MANY more advantages for monorail. Thanks for asking!
Everyone should learn from Korea. Each time i see a Monorail i just shake my head in disbelief that its not standard through out the world. So much more practical than anything else. What i love the most is how clean and narrow they are. If you tried to do these routes with conventional rails it would never work.
BigLoveDavid Yes, in fact you can see some construction sites in this video. Something Carol and I really noticed was how many apartment complexes were within a short walk of monorail stations, especially north of the river. There were many folks from those neighborhoods trying the monorail out for the first time, and they looked pleased with it too.
Even editing out the station wait times it took 37 Minutes to get from your Embarkation station to your destination. Imagine if you got on a PRT that went directly from Embarkation to destination no stops at guide way speed. How long would it take you? 15 minutes 20 maybe? On demand will always beat fixed length carriers on scheduled routes in both time and cost efficiency using the same guiderail. Only difference being the destinations would be offline. Is monorail better than driving, walking, bus or LRT? Absolutely and PRT is still better yet. PRT could get to the point where you could have personal Pods that would travel intercity. If you get hungry or have to go to the facilities you simple tell the pod to stop at next available place. It would revolutionize travel and trade. Imagine ordering something and having it in a few hours rather than a few days and a fraction of the cost. The problem is Politics and competing systems for money. it would put conventional transport out of business.
John Bias The financial cost and economics does not justify the benefit of PRT. There's only so much people that a PRT system can move by the hour vs. a monorail.
Well, one can put normal steel rails on those concrete beams and have a totally interconnected and interchangable system with the rest of the rail system within a city whether it's a LRT or subway. Bunus side: cheap switches and interchangable rolling stock. Anyway, the speed and the ride quality is impressive.
Put steel on those rails and it instantly becomes a money loser. Steel wheels and rails are costly and maintenance heavy. Plus, the track would have to be a LOT wider than what you see here. Bonus, blocking out the sky and using far more resources than necessary, Monorail is sustainable, elevated steel rail is not.
If you took that exact idea but replaced those metal rails with a inductrack maglev system, it would work well, while removing the issue of maintenance, at higher initial cost
I was just wondering kim,. this setup seems like it has quite a hight top speed,. is it one of the faster systems around? do u know its top operating speed and how it compares to similar systems ?
+gamwam Mumbai Monorail to has top speed of 50mph and average drops to 25mph adding all the stoppages and speed restriction on curves. only 1 line from phase 1 is completed and operational Further development of the monorail system is on hold, and questions have been raised as to whether the proposed monorail corridors will have sufficient capacity to meet Mumbai's requirements
!!!WOW!!! What an INTELLIGENT Mass transit system!!! The city of San Jose CA installed a STUPID street car system about 30 years ago. They simply picked the widest streets, dug out the middle lanes, and plopped in their 1920s vintage street cars. They did not study where the people needed to go to/from...they needed wide streets to install this waste of money. Does not even go to the stinking airport...REALLY?!?!?! My dad calls it "The mayors toy train set". We often look at the street cars as they drive by (yes...drive like cars) and count heads inside (10 to 15 on most cases). The only thing it is good for is that it blocks traffic, crashes into cars and bicyclists, is a great canvass for the graffiti artists, is a source of union jobs (and life long pensions), is a big waste of tax payers money, and gives the city the "feel of a big city" so San Jose does not continue to feel inferior to San Francisco!!! Ohh...and since the stations are in the middle of the street it makes the riders great targets for our horrible drivers. What they should have done...is make a study of where the people go to/from (I recommend the airport) and then build a modern, safe, and driver-less monorail right down (correction...right ABOVE) whatever street it takes to get the job done most efficiently. Then get corporate sponsors to adopt the stations (Apple, IBM, etc) to have bright, modern, and "cool" stations that they can advertise their products. San Jose could have captured the image of a forward thinking and modern city...but instead...Coulda...shoulda, wouda...
혹시 대구3호선 전면 동영상 촬영했을 때 안전요원이 아무런 말이 없었는지 너무나도 궁금합니다. (동영상 업로드 한 분이 영어말만 할줄 아는 것 같아서 구글번역기를 통해서 영어로 번역했음.) Have you ever wondered if security personnel are too had no say when the movie cod Front Line 3. (That we translated into English via Google Translator videos uploaded by minute I thought I knew only speak English words.)
There are several emergency escape methods for this monorail. Other monorails have walkways between the tracks. Daegu trains all have doors at their end cabs, so passengers can board a 'rescue train' end to end. They also have ramps for side to side rescues, also train to train. Last resort are the onboard tube slides. Have a look at my 'Fire and Evacuation' editorial on The Monorail Society website at: www.monorails.org/tMspages/KimEd3.html

Very beautiful but has the feel of a digital simulation.
Very smooth. This appears to be a maglev technology. opposite train passing isn't even heard and there is no mechanical sound or shaking.
No, it's not maglev. It's a traditional monorail on pneumatic tires. That's why it's quiet.
It's not. Maglev is not ised anywhere in the world commercially yet.

They did not study where the people needed to go to/from...they needed wide streets to install this waste of money. Does not even go to the stinking airport...REALLY?!?!?!
My dad calls it "The mayors toy train set". We often look at the street cars as they drive by (yes...drive like cars) and count heads inside (10 to 15 on most cases).
The only thing it is good for is that it blocks traffic, crashes into cars and bicyclists, is a great canvass for the graffiti artists, is a source of union jobs (and life long pensions), is a big waste of tax payers money, and gives the city the "feel of a big city" so San Jose does not continue to feel inferior to San Francisco!!! Ohh...and since the stations are in the middle of the street it makes the riders great targets for our horrible drivers.
What they should have done...is make a study of where the people go to/from (I recommend the airport) and then build a modern, safe, and driver-less monorail right down (correction...right ABOVE) whatever street it takes to get the job done most efficiently. Then get corporate sponsors to adopt the stations (Apple, IBM, etc) to have bright, modern, and "cool" stations that they can advertise their products.
San Jose could have captured the image of a forward thinking and modern city...but instead...Coulda...shoulda, wouda...
Korea is like 60 years ahead in time istg
This monorail was made using the technology of Hitachi, Ltd. in Japan.
Can anyone tell me why this daegu monorail does not shake like other monorails around the world? Is it because of size?
Rui Diaz IDK but look like the camera is well fix to the train.....not bcuz the train wont shake...

Muito bom. Gostei.
혹시 대구3호선 전면 동영상 촬영했을 때 안전요원이 아무런 말이 없었는지 너무나도 궁금합니다.

Have you ever wondered if security personnel are too had no say when the movie cod Front Line 3.
(That we translated into English via Google Translator videos uploaded by minute I thought I knew only speak English words.)
+하만석 Google Translator didn't work very well this time.
저가 대신 설명하겠습니다.
아무말은 없는데 사람들은 찍으면 말이 있죠
Strange, so few pedestrians seen below. Where are passengers supposed to go when stuck between stations in emergencies?
There are several emergency escape methods for this monorail. Other monorails have walkways between the tracks. Daegu trains all have doors at their end cabs, so passengers can board a 'rescue train' end to end. They also have ramps for side to side rescues, also train to train. Last resort are the onboard tube slides. Have a look at my 'Fire and Evacuation' editorial on The Monorail Society website at: www.monorails.org/tMspages/KimEd3.html
Mind boggling.......
What is your maximum speed? it looks slow
