I find it hard to believe that a monorail has any benefit a standard rail line doesn't offer. Light rail can be designed for passenger only, or have restricted freight.
I laughed when the original pan advertised being able to hit 60 mph. I remember the push to get it to Ballard back in the early 2000s. I knew it would not be going anywhere.
I hear those things are awfully loud
Ask the people of Vancouver, BC ... they've had a 50-mile 'Skytrain' since 1985. The 2023 ridership was 141 Million.
Whoosh
It glides as softly as a cloud
