Passengers have fairly low tolerance for forces on a daily traveling mode of transport. Your average commuter wants to be able to hold a hot coffee without scalding themselves.
- dmkolobov 2y agoGenuine question: wouldn’t we still be able to do that? Im imagining similar behavior to swinging cup of water around on a string. The liquid experiences the same acceleration and “settles” within the new orientation of the container.
- kfarr 2y agoYes the same as an airplane turning, you don’t spill your coffee on a banked turn

- bobthepanda 2y agoyeah, one major problem with rail based transport, including monorails, is that you can't bank that heavily because there will be normal situations where the train goes into a curve slower than the max design speed. Self-tilting trains exist, but are expensive, and hard to maintain.
