You still run into that "last 20 (or 40) mile" problem in each city
you get close to.
They may not have a suitable interstate going into the city and that
real estate tends to be curb to curb traffic lane.

Elevating a high speed train? That is just funny.
Cost, additional danger in a derailment, more noise.

I do like your sense of humor tho.

All it would take is a train popping off a track and taking out a
whole row of bumper to bumper commuters in cars on that interstate
below to sink rail in this country for years.


I wonder why the monorail concept never took off?


It did, go to Disneyland and ride it any time you want.

It is a slow theme park ride, not good for much else.


And now, because of 'security' considerations, you can't ride up in the front cab anymore. F'ing
Muslim Terrorists have taken the fun out of everything.
