Bombardier Monorails
The
Bombardier Corporation maintains a website but only
the
M-111 monorail system is described there. The company
has built several monorails in the past and is currently
installing a system in
Jacksonville, Florida . It may be that their other
monorail products will be included at their website at a
later time.
Bombardier's M-VI monorail technology is currently in
use at Walt Disney World in Florida. It was installed in
1989-90 and carries up to 200,000 passengers per day. It is
the most heavily traveled passenger monorail in the world. A
more robust (heavy duty) version of the M-VI has been
developed for urban applications, but none have been
installed anywhere in the world. It can be operated as a
fully automated, driverless system.
