Technology: Monorail

The proposal is for a monorail running from the Railway station to the Airport, via Queens Wharf, Courtenay Place, Massey University Wellington, Newtown, Kilbirnie, Miramar and Strathmore. 

Both directions can have trains every 2 minutes, and the trip is 17 minutes from one end to the other. The monorail can scale from 1,800 to 15,000 passengers per hour in each direction.

The monorail is elevated so won't cause congestion or have accidents with pedestrians. It is also whisper quiet with rubber tires and electrically powered.

More information is available on the NZ Monorails site.
