      There’s the problem, it got stuck in a billboard.

      The only reason there aren’t more Monorails is the car lobbiests influencing zoning and transportation policy.

        Also because there really aren’t that many benefits over regular trains, which is centuries old and already extremely mature technology.

      I actually didn’t mind the monorail that ran around Sydney CBD before it was ripped down.

        I don’t think that monorails are any worse than light trains, they are basically the same for the user.

        The only problem that monorail has is that a new network of them needs special technicians, train production and basically a bunch of non-standard tools. Light rail is compatible with any existing train networks and it’s easier to find personnel etc.
