Ironic that gizmodo use an illustration of the doomed Moscow
Monorail in
their article


I noticed that as well, especially considering that the Moscow City
Government is seriously considering dismantling a part of it.

Let's not forget about Sydney.

I'm sure that it has been discussed on a number of occasions, but I am
not clear why monorails don't enjoy the same amount of success as rail.

Talking of which, I see that the Wupperthal danglebahn is getting new
trains.

I saw.

Those could not have been cheap, considering their unique design.

I'm amazed by the weight of them - 25 tonnes - I'd have thought that
given they dangle weight would have been an important consideration.
