Monorail History
Built for the World's Fair by Alweg Transit of Germany, the Monorail carried 7.3 million guests during the six months of the Fair. Following the Fair, the Monorail system was sold to the City of Seattle in 1965 for $600,000. Today, the Monorail carries 2.5 million riders a year, and in 2004, both the Red and Blue Trains have surpassed the one million mile mark.
