The **Melaka Monorail**[a] was a [monorail](/source/Monorail) system in [Malacca City](/source/Malacca_City), [Malacca](/source/Malacca), [Malaysia](/source/Malaysia) with 3 stations – Tun Ali, Hang Tuah and Hang Jebat. Troubled since its inception in 2010, with services suspended between 2013 and 2017, the monorail has not been operational since the [COVID-19](/source/COVID-19) [Malaysian movement control order](/source/Malaysian_movement_control_order) in 2020.[1]

## History

Melaka Monorail route map

The first phase of the system, built at a cost of [RM](/source/Malaysian_ringgit)15.9 million and covering 1.6 km from Taman Rempah in Pengkalan Rama to Hang Tuah Station at Kampung Bunga Raya Pantai, was opened to the public on 21 October 2010.[2] However, hours after opening, the monorail ground to a halt, stranding 20 passengers inside. As of December 2010[\[update\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Melaka_Monorail&action=edit), after a series of similar problems it was no longer operational;[3] the monorail was however spotted at nights doing test runs in 2011.[4]

After 4 years being suspended since 2013 due to technical problems, the Melaka Monorail service began operating again on 4 December 2017. The service operated from 10am to 10pm on weekdays, with extended service till midnight on weekends, using one coach that accommodate up to 15 people. Each round trip took 30 minutes, with tickets priced at RM10 each.[5][6]

The monorail suspended operations in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 [Malaysian movement control order](/source/Malaysian_movement_control_order),[1] and the operator's contract was terminated in 2021.[7]

## Route

The Melaka Monorail is a uni-directional clockwise loop covering 2.5 km starting from Tun Ali Station, crossing the [Malacca River](/source/Malacca_River) plying parallel to Jalan Tun Mutahir, bypassing Hang Jebat Station, running parallel south on the east side of the Malacca River, bypassing Hang Tuah Station, crossing the Malacca River again, running parallel to Jalan Tun Ali, and returning to Tun Ali Station.[8]

After the 2017 reopening, only the Tun Ali station was operational, while 2 other stations (Hang Tuah and Hang Jebat) were closed.
