PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simplify the structure of a bifurcation point for a monorail, to which three rail ends converges, and to prevent fluctuations of a monorail car when it passes through the bifurcation point, to thereby increase a limiting speed. SOLUTION: A pedestal 8 is set up at a bifurcation point P, and a bearing is arranged at the pedestal 8. Then, a vertically extending pivot is rotatably inserted into the bearing, and a central portion of a point rail which is curved into an almost circular arc in a plan view, is fixed to the upper end of the pivot. Both edges of the point rail are opposed to edges of two rails, respectively, in a manner abutting on the same. When the point rail is half-rotated about the pivot, the both edges of the point rail can be opposed to two rail edges, respectively, in a manner abutting on the same, which rail edges are different in combination from the aforementioned rail edges.
