Country folk tend to like the independence offered by their cars, so how do you get them to use public transit? The Monocab system may be the answer, as it utilizes individual on-demand pods that travel on existing abandoned railways.
Its kinda cool how by making it mono-rail, they can use a single track rail to have pods moving in both directions, and the rail could still be used during the night for regular cargo trains.
It looks monorail at first but if you look closer its not.
I also wouldn’t want to be the forgetful dumb person that forgot how late it was before taking this thing home because those cargo trains ain’t gonna stop.
It is a monorail, the outrigger is just for testing purposes. It’s gyro stabilized. The tech has been around for more than 100 years, developers always wanted higher capacity which is problematic.
Not if it is strictly time separated. Like I wrote, I could see these pods operate exclusively during the day and regular/cargo trains operate exclusively during the night. Or any other such time based system.

The arms connecting the 2nd rail are being used during testing.
Using that for monorails and regular cargo trains would require the monorails to follow regulations and I don’t see that happening.

Does that mean that these things can’t go across points? (and anywhere that there isn’t an outer edge to the rail)
