It\'s just a suspended monorail. Sydney had a monorail for years - not suspended - but that isn\'t a material difference.

it was never all that popular and was shut down a few years ago. If that\'s your idea of sci-fi, you need to read a bit more sci-fi.

Blackpool had a Swiss made monorail back in 1966 - and back then it was
a lot more like science fiction - like something out of Dan Dare.

A passenger carrying maglev ultra high speed train would be truly
impressive. Japan is reaching the limits of what the Shinkansen rails
can stand as the bow wave off the front of their fastest trains can
flick up track ballast with considerable force.
