I find it hard to believe that a monorail has any benefit a standard rail line doesn't offer. Light rail can be designed for passenger only, or have restricted freight.
I laughed when the original pan advertised being able to hit 60 mph. I remember the push to get it to Ballard back in the early 2000s. I knew it would not be going anywhere.
