It's so entertaining to see #Zoomers loose their shit watching #cringe-ass #Kindergarten-Level Ideas by #DahirInsaat...

• Cuz it's a worse idea than the #StraddlingBus aka. #TransitElevatedBus.

And that is already worse than #Monorail|s.

• Granted, #SkyTrain-Style #OverheadMonorails do make sense in edge-cases where #Tram, #Metro and #Bus ain't an option...

The problem is rather that these ain't at surface level, and that verticality makes it less accessible to use, so only in few cases they are a good option and oftentimes #CableCars would be way better - espechally the modern ones that decouple #Cabins aka. "#Pods" from the wire and let people board at a standstill without interrupting the flow.

Kinda like an Aerial Ropeway makes sense in guaranteed asymetric load scenarios and having "load swap" systems to reverse the direction would not work unless they are more efficient than electric powered cablecars...

@notjustbikes since #Amsterdam - like vast parts of the #Netherlands - is basically swampy estuaries, underground train construction is not conducive to it.

I mean, you ~ can ~ do that but #NewYorkCity, #Tokyo and #Singapore only did because they literally ran out of space and don't want to invest into modernized #SAFEGE-Style #OverheadMonorails - yet.
