Construction of new urban transportation systems including the urban transit monorail system and other new urban transportation systems are being promoted in various cities of the world as well as in Japan. These systems have been developed as a means of transportation to solve overcrowded urban transportation problems through utilization of presently unused aerial space over streets. They aim to achieve high speed mass transit at inexpensive construction cost and are soon to attain great success. This article describes the system and features of the Kokura Urban Transit Monorail Line of Kita-Kyushu city, the first urban transit monorail system in Japan. It also deals with an outline of the equipment manufactured by Hitachi, Ltd. for the new urban transportation systems of the Ina Line of the Saitama New Urban Transit Co. and the Yamaguchi Line of the Seibu Railway Co., Ltd.
