Agree - not insightful at all.

He says the problem with monorails are that they are grade separated - that is in fact, their strength. No traffic. No pedestrians. And designed right - the infrastructure can be kept to a minimum - it all rides atop of a pole. Try to put light rail down an interstate high lane!

Park monorail - wonder what the safest top speed would be?

Newark International Airport Monorail
