This monorail in Germany is over 100 years old and transports some 50,000 people every day.
It looks like its ruined any natural charm of the river.
>4000 per hour (200 per train, 3 minute headway)
>27 km/h average speed
I get it being the city's landmark and all but that's pretty shit for a fully segregated system.
Actualy not at all.
Next time you drive your car thru a downtown area check your average speed!
The monorail runs in a fairly narrow valley and end-to-end beats busses, taxis and cars hands down; especially during rush hour or in the winter time.
What is a better solution in your opinion?

Make it like americuh
build a big freeway
clog it up every day
make big traffic jams

I bet my ass the NYC subway is slower

Neat, where in Germany is it? I might want to give it a try if I ever make it over there.

Uh... you do know what "average speed" means, right? Most subways get about 24-25km/h average speed, 27 is quite good.
I used to ride it to school

the original emperors carriage is still operational and you can even book a journey, if I ever go there I may do this.

It's pretty genius actually, who actually uses or would need the space clear above a river that small for anything?
I guess it's more of a German idea
