When it comes to urban transportation, looking at this contraption I can't help wondering... why not just get a bicycle?

  You can go directly to where you need to go, there is zero chance of getting run down by a car, it is better in the event of bad weather. Oh and the view is better.

    How can you not go directly to where you need to go on a bicycle? How can you go directly to where you need to go if there's a jam on the MONO-rail or if there's a slowpoke on the lane? What if there is no rail at all leading anywhere close to where you need to go? This thing is trying to reinvent the road and coupling it with a single, proprietary vehicle. We already have roads, and we have bicycles (and feet) that are "compatible" with those roads and pretty much any other urban terrain.

      You can not go there because there are things like buildings, roads, water areas, etc in the way. When I say direct, I mean the shortest possible route.

      There is a point: - that monorail would be safer - you do not need to bring your bike - weather is less relevant
