The train design, arguably the best-looking Hitachi monorails to date, was picked by Daegu citizens from three choices.

Do we have to say it again? Yes we do... Monorail operates separate from auto and pedestrian traffic. Monorail is therefore faster and safer. Little ground space is needed for pylons, especially as compared to street rail systems.

At one major intersection, this arch was designed to provide a long, pylon-free span over traffic.

The same intersection bridge, as seen from Manpyeong Station. The long span is steel, while shorter spans are reinforced concrete.

Crossing the Geumho River is this beautiful monorail-only bridge.

Maecheon Market Station is one of seven riverside stations in northwest Daegu.
