The Sentosa Monorail (Chinese: 圣淘沙单轨列车) was a monorail system which served as the main means of transportation on the island of Sentosa in Singapore, which was now currently replaced by the new monorail system, Sentosa Express. The system was constructed at a cost of S$14 million by Von Roll of Switzerland, who also built the Singapore Cable Car. Commencing operations on 23 February 1982, the line had initially only five stations. In 1987, Ferry Terminal Monorail Station began operations when the Sentosa Ferry Terminal opened that year, likewise, in 1991, Underwater World Monorail Station commenced operations when Underwater World opened that year. It operated several 16-car, non-air conditioned trains in a unidirectional counter-clockwise single loop through seven stations located around the western half of the island. The monorail rides were initially charged at S$3 for adults and S$1.50 for children. The trip was later made free for passengers, who could ride the system as often as they wished throughout their stay on the island. Four of the stations have two platforms; for such stations, the Spanish solution was employed, where passengers alight at one platform and board at the opposite platform. ==Stations== There are no terminal stations for Sentosa Monorail. * Station 1: Ferry Terminal – Opened in 1987; closed in 2005; demolished on March 2007 * Station 2: Underwater World – Opened in 1991; closed in 2005; subsequently repurposed * Station 3: Fort Siloso (first station to be closed down) – Opened in 1982; closed in 2005; subsequently repurposed * Station 4: Cable Car – Opened in 1982; closed in 2005; subsequently repurposed * Station 5: Central Beach / Palawan Beach – Opened in 1982; closed in 2005; subsequently repurposed * Station 6: SDC Office / Ficus – Opened in 1982; closed in 2005; subsequently repurposed * Station 7: Gateway / Causeway / Visitor Arrival Centre – Opened in 1982; closed and demolished in 2005 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sentosa Monorail」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
