Goodbye, Moscow Monorail: The Story of Russia's Train to Nowhere

Today marks the final day of the Moscow Monorail—one of the city’s strangest and most controversial transport experiments. Opened in 2004 with big dreams and slow trains, the monorail never found its place in the capital’s fast-moving transit system. In this video, I take one last ride on what was once supposed to be the future of Moscow transport. From shady contracts and theme-park-level infrastructure to empty carriages and its quiet transformation into a park, this is the full story of Russia’s forgotten train to nowhere.
