Monorail, monorail, monorail, monorail, monorail, monorail....

It's a maglev monorail? I thought this was going to use pneumatic tubes and stuff. I'm all for high speed rail, but I'm much more for Jetsons-style wooshy tube transportation.

I went with mom, dad, and my grandmother. We flew to Washington and drove from there.
It was a neat trip, but I expected more from the expo. With a few exceptions, it seemed like it was done on the cheap, compared to what I had seen in old footage. I expected to ride in a hover car, watch hologram movies, ride moving sidewalks, ride monorails, see some early teleportation, etc. Of those, I got a holographic movie, so I was somewhat disappointed. What do you expect from a 16 year old though?

Posted the other 2 videos in the comments of that one. Feel free to sift them if you wish, I won't be posting them for real.

Yes, but subway systems have spur tracks and track switches built in so a single broken train doesn't stop the line....usually. They aren't all really 'single lined' because you can often put a north bound train on the south bound track for a bit to get around a broken train/track/switch....not so on monorails.
Still, it seems like those problems can be solved if they wanted to. A triple tracked monorail would have been insanely cheaper and simpler than the Big Dig.

A subway system is very expensive to build and they are all over the world. Also, subway lines are single lined, so when a failure occurs, the whole line, or a full section between two nodes is halted.

There is an interesting project in Quebec to develop a kind of intercity high-speed monorail system : http://www.trensquebec.qc.ca
it is said to be cheaper than a high speed train. It would use shuttles and be installed above the expressway.

We want more monorails!

I once ran over a sparrow with my car. it was on the middle of the road, and i thought (it's a bird, they always take off at the last second). Turns out, it didn't even move. Must have been a young bird.


I died a little inside. So I'm totally with the monorail driver on this one.
