A monorail in NYC would face two seemingly unsurmountable problems: elevated structure and incompatibility. If NIMBY opposition to elevateds could be overcome, then why not build an El compatible with the rest of the system? And if incompatibility issues could be ignored, why not build light rail? Light rail would be more appropriate than a monorail for replacing bus routes. Building a monorail also precludes the oppurtunity to extend the SAS to hook up with an existing line in another borough (such as the LIRR Atlantic Line, or the 4th Ave, or the SIR, or the Concourse, etc, etc...) IAWTP. This is why those of us who support transit MUST BE ON GUARD to protect the citizens against ANY consideration of monorails. Monorails deserve RIDICULE. |
