"This is the train of the future I imagined when I was a child..." - same here. When I was a kid, the future seemed to be much more nicer, brighter, more interesting than what we today expect the future to be like.

The thing is, life is just that. But also everything else. Since the beginning and most likely till the end, life is inherently subjective, with peace and chaos and everything in between.

Absolutely stunning! I had to look up the one in Germany too. These monorails are amazing! They really do feel like what you'd imagine the future of mass transit to be like! I love all the cute liveries on them too. Thank you for sharing!

The really great thing about them is that you can make use of otherwise unused space, without digging expensive tunnels. The one in Wuppertal, Germany has its tracks mostly above a small river and city streets. I was there a few times, and it's a fantastic thing - riding them is like fyling in a tram.

@@christophdeelmann6970 I honestly hate people calling things "unused space," like humans have to work their way and put their things anywhere and everywhere, otherwise the space has no purpose and just, well, takes up space. It's like when people say that the world isn't overpopulated because there's so much "unoccupied space" out there. We don't own this planet and we don't have the right to take up every inch of space. Something doesn't need to have a purpose to us in order for it to exist.

This might not be applicable in the US. The NIMBY will have a field day complaining about how it ruin their view, and then there will be some stupid environmental report that will ultimately kill the project. Any large scale mass transit project in the US is a chore to get off the ground.

These are actually like the Düsseldorf airport and Dortmund university monorails which use the same SAFEGE box-type guideway. There's an enclosed bogey with rubber tires to provide good traction. The Wuppertaler system uses its own system more like a standard steel wheel and rail (albeit with side flanges to keep the wheel on the track).

Good morning and welcome to the Black Mesa Transit System. This automated train is provided for the security and convenience of the Black Mesa Research Facility personnel. The time is 08:47 AM. Current topside temperature is 93 degrees, with an estimated high of one hundred and five. The Black Mesa compound is maintained at a pleasant 68 degrees at all times. This train is inbound from Level 3 Dormitories to Sector C Test Labs and Control Facilities. If your intended destination is a high-security area beyond Sector C, you will need to return to the Central Transit Hub in Area 9 and board a high security train. If you have not yet submitted your identity to the retinal clearance system, you must report to Black Mesa Personnel for processing before you will be permitted into the high security branch of the transit system

While these systems are really cool and futuristic, I can why they're not actively used. If you ever have a train break down on the track you don't have an emergency exit or pathway for people to take. At least with an L train people can walk on the bridge in an emergency.
