Suspended Monorails
A suspended monorail is a type of transportation system where a single rail is elevated above the ground, and the train cars hang from it. This design allows for efficient travel in urban areas, as it minimizes the need for extensive ground-level infrastructure. The trains are typically powered by electricity and can navigate curves and inclines smoothly.
These systems are often used in theme parks, cities, and airports to provide quick and reliable transit. Notable examples include the Wuppertal Suspension Railway in Germany and the Tokyo Monorail in Japan. Suspended monorails are valued for their space-saving design and reduced environmental impact.
