Ueno Zoo Monorail

The Ueno Zoo Monorail was a suspended monorail system operated by the Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation (Toei), a bureau of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government that focuses on transportation.
The system is situated in Ueno Zoo, Japan's oldest zoo. The monorail system was opened on 17 December 1957, making it the first monorail system in Japan and the first zoo monorail in the world. The monorail operated daily from 9:40 am to 4:30 pm, with departures scheduled every seven minutes. The line was 0.3 km long (0.19 mi) and consisted of only two stations: a trip between both stations took about 90 seconds and cost ¥150 (approx. USD 1.36).
Operations on the line was suspended on 1 November 2019, with Toei citing the high costs of replacing trains; after four years of suspension the line was closed on 27 December 2023. An electric bus plies the route formerly operated by the monorail.
