Tampa International Airport Monorail - CLOSED

"One train overshot the station slightly and had to back up!" In Budapest, the full metro trains also had to stop at a specific position to be able to open their doors (all metro lines back then, M1-M3). If the drivers missed that sweet spot, they had to reverse their entire train a few metres. It sometimes took them 3 or 4 attempts to properly stop at the station, chugging a few metres back and forth every try... Haven't had that problem for a while now, so they probably changed some stuff. Or maybe I just travel less by metro, preferring above ground transport...

I used to have so much fun planespotting at Tampa then just riding this while eating my lunch 😞 I’ll miss this quirky little bombardier monorail

Good morning, and welcome to the Black Mesa Transit System.

Automatic trains like this are awesome.

I remember riding this back in 2020, I rode this to the Long Term parking elevators to go see them. Little did I know back then, that those elevators would be modernized in the future, and this very monorail would be no more...

Ok if this isn't the cutest damn thing IVE EVER SEEN OMG CUTE

Reminds me of the Heathrow Pod, except the Heathrow Pod drives on wheels and seems to be smaller and less comfortable. I love the old look of the Tampa Monorail.

This airport rail line looks like stuck in the 70's or 80's

These mini roller coasters need some loops and barrel rolls!

This is so cool!!! The glass block light source is genius.

Cool! I lived in Tampa for 18 yrs and the airport has never stopped growing.

5:50 Monorail maintenance spur line. Great footage!

Nearly everywhere on the internet says these cars were built by Bombardier, but I know for a fact (and have photographic proof) that these six cars were built from the ground up by a company called Aerotrans in Springville, Utah. Maybe it was a subcontracting deal, but the three news articles I can find about Aerotrans securing the contract to build these cars make no mention of Bombardier's involvement.

It's a cute monorail♡.

I've been to the Tampa airport many times, I didn't know they had this. Great video.

Oh little little little snail 🐌 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Woop woop, the world's first monorail with two rails :)

it looks awesome

Unfortunately this system is now out of service as of the beginning of this month. Due to high maintenance and running costs It is getting removed. It was originally supposed to be removed from service in September but they have decided to do it early due to decreased traffic from the virus. Its will be getting replaced by moving walkways on the 4th floor of the garage similar to the economy parking garage setup at the airport

So dinky 🤩 I like the retro colours
