The Sydney Monorail ran between 1988 and 2013. In 1987, a year before its opening, the first monorail train, which ran on a 3.6-kilometre loop, was unveiled to the world at the Transpublic 87 Exhibition in Geneva.
While the Monorail was causing controversy in Sydney, it was receiving praise for its innovation at an international level. Transpublic 87 Managing Director Rodolphe Huser praised it and hoped that other cities would follow Sydney's lead in adopting the monorail.
