>>889082That's pretty much what happened in Sydney. The powers that be at the time wanted a monorail over a tram line purely because it was a trendy thing. Of course, the model they decided to buy in the end was only designed for theme parks so it had fuck all capacity on a short loop line. It was pretty much sold to Sydney Simpsons style That and by the end of it all, a ride was $5 a pop regardless of distance, making it more expensive per metre than many first class flights. Oh and it wasn't integrated into the ticketing system despite the tram line being run by the same company being integrated
And in the end, the tram line was built alongside a portion of it anyway until its demise
