What is the schedule? / How often do trains arrive at the stations?
The Monorail does not operate on a preset schedule. Trains arrive approximately every 4 to 12 minutes depending on the number of trains in operation, which is set based on anticipated ridership levels. These levels will vary throughout the day to support expected peak hours. Passenger levels are monitored and service is adjusted accordingly. The majority of the day trains arrive every 5 to 6 minutes. Station announcements notify you when the next train is due to arrive.
