News reader Richard Zachariah introduces a Seven Nightly News story about the opening of the Sydney monorail on 21 July 1988.
Reporter Steve Barnes says that while some protested for it to go away, others were excited to be amongst the first to experience the 12-minute round trip.
The monorail eventually closed in 2013.
