A monorail is an urban rail transit type in which trains run on or are suspended above a single rail or beam structure to transport people. They have an intermediate transport capacity at the regional and metropolitan level, generally greater than that of the tram and less than that of the rapid transit.

, formally the , is a magnetic levitation train line in Aichi Prefecture, Japan, running between the cities of Nagoya, Nagakute, and Toyota. While primarily built to serve the Expo 2005 fair site, the line has since operated to serve the local community.
