Membership in the International Monorail Association

mageba is proud to continue its support to the monorail industry by announcing its becoming a member of the International Monorail Association (IMA) as of April 2021. With the growth of cities, the increased need for commuting as well as limited space for public transport, monorails are an innovative, economic and highly-efficient means for public mass transit.

Monorail‘s provide a transportation capacity of 5,000 to 25,000 people per hour and direction

In the past mageba has already been involved in several traditional railway and even monorail projects and has gained lots of professional experience in this field. By joining the International Monorail Association, we seek to get more insights in and access to this exciting business sector. At the same time we want to support the IMA in their mission to organize the global monorail sector, promote the application of monorail, and initiate and support standardization processes of monorail for public mass transport infrastructure.

We are looking forward to being part of the “global monorail world” and its impressive projects.
