I'm pretty sure there are plenty of places in Asia and Europe, where public transport is not a dirty word, where people are already trying to figure out a way to make this happen in their backyard.
- stephengillie 13y agoI keep thinking about the Seattle Center Monorail, constructed for the 1962 World's Fair. Like the hyperloop, it's an elevated train, and people predicted that it would be extended to other cities and revolutionize public transportation. It still runs, and you can ride it for a few dollars. But a bus will take you end-to-end cheaper and faster. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle_monorail https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle_monorail
