Osaka Monorail Main Line (大阪モノレール線, Ōsaka Monorēru sen) is a monorail route of the Osaka Monorail which connects Osaka Airport Station in Toyonaka, Osaka Prefecture, Senri-Chūō Station in Suita, Minami-Ibaraki Station in Ibaraki, Dainichi Station in Moriguchi, and Kadoma-shi Station in Kadoma.

Overview

[edit]

The Main Line runs on an elevated line between Osaka International Airport and Kadoma. It opened on 1 June 1990 between Senri-Chuo and Minami-Ibaraki stations.[1] On 30 September 1994 it reached Shibahara-handai-mae Station, on 1 April 1997, Osaka Airport, and on 22 August 1997, its current eastern terminal at Kadoma-shi Station.[1] It is 21.2 km (13.2 mi) long. A single-way trip over the entire Main Line takes about 36 minutes, and costs ¥550.

An 8.9 km (5.5 mi), five-station extension from Kadoma to Uryudo is planned to open in 2029.[2]
