Your commute has just become a little more exciting! I introduce to you, one of the coolest monorail systems in Japan: The Chiba Urban Monorail (千葉都市モノレール). Connecting residential areas to public institutions in the city of Chiba, Japan, it was certified as, "The World's Longest Suspended Monorail” by Guinness Book of World Records on June 27, 2001. The rail operates two tracks totaling a distance of 15.2Km and serves 21 stations. Adult fares from 190-490yen; Children fares discounted at 100-250yen. Fun for all ages! Experience the rock as it swings freely along the bend.
