Not Chicago, not New York or any other metropolitan city that has had this technology engineered into their infrastructure for almost a century.

      <![CDATA[There  are no road systems (or gasoline-sales organizations) that don't "require" subsidies either--but the illusion of car independence is there anyway.<br /><br />The problem with the baby-stage train system starting here is that it needs to connect to  really regular, 5 minute for a bus, transportation system  out FROM it. If you happen to work at Broadway and Ist--it's a very good link.

      <![CDATA[It's really a shame about the Simpsons making monorail the butt of so many jokes, because it actually is a very cost effective, low footprint rapid rail technology. The VonRoll/Adtranz style monorail used in Sydney has an astonishingly low footprint, nothing like the heavy concrete structures used in Las Vegas or at Disney.
