Yesterday I took the monorail home from work for the first time. It was built in 1962 yet it seemed so futuristic. It's incredible how advanced it felt.

The trip was quiet, fast, scenic, comfortable and enjoyable. Mind blowing that we haven't advanced transportation or added even one additional route since 1962. Bitcoin fixes this, study #Bitcoin

Only one monorail route in the city, over one million miles traveled carrying millions of passengers, yet no further development since 1962

Then there are your run of the mill propaganda videos against monorails like the one below. In which there are no comments addressing the benefits of monorails. The negatives are false or overblown and the logic is bias, circular and shortsighted/misguided. Several replies in the comment section make good points to refute this video.

Why Monorails Are A Bad Idea

Trains are impractical in many locations, monorails are faster and safer than buses, trains or subways. Monorails are less cumbersome and less obstructive on the ground level, they lighten the load on city traffic.

The monorail is notably safer than ground or underground public transit. There is virtually no opportunity for criminals and desperate individuals to loiter or spontaneously gain access and or flee/evade on foot. Each traveler passes through a gate/terminal with a worker present to confirm payment.

Bitcoin enables progress and free market advancements overcoming captured and regulated industrial walled gardens that inhibit progress and innovation.

Technology like Tesla's robotaxis, vans and other autonomous vehicles are over due and have potential to be our safest, cheapest, fastest options yet.

Crazy how innovation is being held back all over the place, in every industry. It’s one of the horrible consequences of the current system and is not well understood.

I’m gonna be watching these vids tonight to learn about monorails. 🫡
