A bus can go anywhere there is a road, and if one breaks down, another one can easily take its place. Monorails, light-rail, peoplemovers... they can't do that. Even if there was an expansion of the monorail, they'd still have to have buses. I'd love to see more monorails as much as anyone. I just seriosly doubt it will happen unless someone high up champions show over profits.

Can't you just imagine coming on property and finding less, and "different" traffic than you do where you live? He wanted to move people without so many individual cars. He also wanted buses and trucks running separate from the cars. Now too often you find traffic situations just like you get back home near the mall.
