SINGAPORE : Sentosa's Monorail made its final journey on Tuesday night after 23 years in service.
"Everybody sit tight, the last monorail journey will be departing," the train driver said.
And with that, Sentosa's monorail took its last passengers for a historic ride round the island at 10pm.
It is making way for a state of the art express train that will connect Sentosa to the Harbour Front MRT station within six minutes.
Operators said traffic had more than doubled since news broke last week that the monorail would be dismantled.
From the driver to the passengers, no one wasted any time capturing the moment to remember with photographs.
"This is the first time and last time I'm riding the monorail," one passenger said.
"When I was young I rode in this monorail and I found it very memorable, so I came back to ride this again," said another.
"The train, we can feel it every day -- it's really old and we have to give it a rest. Quite a lot of people who came to Sentosa will miss this train very much; I can feel it from the bottom of my heart," said the driver. - CNA
