The Poços de Caldas Monorail was a monorail system that served the city of Poços de Caldas in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Privately owned, the single elevated line connected the bus station to the centre of the city, a total of 6 km (3.7 mi) and 11 stations. Since 2000 the system has been out of service and a section of the track was destroyed in 2003 making it impossible immediately to resume operations. There are plans for its renovation and for services to be reinstated.
