Taking in consideration that existing public transportation mode choices are unsustainable and undeveloped mode. Hence, the Governments must seek for sustainable modes of public transport, which make use of the road space more efficiently than private transport. The aim of the paper is to provide a study of Urban Monorail System (UMS) as a successful tool that is used all over the world to improve the urban development, activities and the overall urban environment. The paper method is Qualitative. Finally, the researcher sets out a Transport Questionnaire directed to the users of the recent transit mode under study concluding with recommendations that reflect their needs and points of view which can be implemented in the current policies governing Alexandria for the future.
