Monorail will never ever happen here - Seattle and Las Vegas have, in fact, probably killed it everywhere else in this country as well. Not surprisingly, the optimistic but naive projections were completely wrong, and the sum total of decades of actual working knowledge of transit systems was more accurate.

It's _not_ any cheaper than elevated light rail; it's significantly less reliable; and _not_ any less expensive. You can safely remove it from the list of options at this point unless you're a car guy trying to sow confusion (as many supposed monorail fans really are).
