Re: Melbourne to get a monorail?

["Brendan" <nadnerb_2000@nospam.start.com.au>]

Monorail, in this space conscious world, is a way to get transport past
everything without having to tunnel. And it is not unpopular all over the
world - it is popular in theme parks, Sydney's monorail has high patronage
(though it can be an eyesore), and in Tokyo the airport is served by a high
speed monorail.

Whats wrong with them anyway?
