Re: The problem with mass transit said by shortckt:Small cabs that only hold six passengers or so would be light enough to run on a light overhead track.

As far back as the 70's Alweg, builder of the Disney monorail, proposed something similar but found no interested buyers.
See? I knew it. We've come full circle.

Tenant Hell | What's old is new again. Why not? It happens in the fashion world.
edit: but I'm thinking of a really light track, such as a hollow steel tube or two holding up the cabs and which could be held in the air by light steel frame vertical members not much larger than what holds up the large freeway signs and billboards. The Disney monorail runs on a concrete and steel track that looks streamlined, but is more substantial. |

Not that I could fit into a 29 waist these days. |
