@LunaDragofelis @RuthODay also not an option because that would not fit either, and whilst a "#Dangletrain" Like the #SkyTrain and #OverheadMonorail would be cool, but cross-compatibility is zero and acceptance for something like it - and the necessary construction, of elevated stations which further choke transport of people and is harder to make accessible than to replace the entire rolling stock with low-floor vehicles that have automatic ramps..

  • Same for any "Light Rail" on elevated tracks above ground...

See for yourself...

  • There's no way to unfuck this without committing "political suicide" as a mayor and have massive protests by #NIMBYs

Why Does Germany Build Suspended Monorails (When Almost Nobody Else Does)?

@CatDragon @iyalei @femphysics in the end, #Ottobahn - even if it ends overcrowded like the #TeslaTunnels - is even being outmatched by the smallest #Dangletrain (#Düsseldorf #SkyTrain) and doesn't even compete with the #Chiba overhead #monorail...

It's absolutely.useless and the fact that they seemed to have been given a testing area in the overpriced and overcrowded vicinity of Munich speaks volumes about #lobbyism...

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] so um, how many passengers does Otto hold? Because I’m not seeing the workability here as far as commuter density. Or is just government subsidized rails for a folks with big privilege ?

@iyalei @femphysics but that's not #futuristic and #cool looking, so when #Elon doesn't go out of his way to do the #Hyperloop scam solely to sabotage #CHSR (#California #HighSpeedRail) you can see shitty #TechBros doing other grifts like the #Ottobahn, which is what happens when someone had a bad LSD trip on the #Wuppertal #Dangletrain:

Yoi get a shittier & absurdly more complex overhead-#monorail for rich #Wankers, cuz #Pods instead of #Cabins!
