Personally, to that spreadsheet, I would add an "other" category to incorporate and/or better account for things like the Miami MetroMover or the Detroit PeopleMover, or the Seattle Monorail, and perhaps a separate section for funicular or inclined railways such as Angles Flight in LA or Duquesne Incline in Pittsburg, among
others. Yes, some of those are more novelties, but some are functionally important to their areas and I notice that the spreadsheet already does note some novelty streetcar systems, so I don't see the difference really.
