Skyride - another excellent Monorail system.



Why are cycle monorails like buses - because you wait a long time for one and then suddenly two come at once!

Scott Olson ( the guy that invented roller blades ) has put money into a cycle monorail called SkyRide  


They do mention a 'switch' technology ( this helps you over take and run an full network of interconnected tracks and have stations without stopping traffic ).

The GreenProphet article also includes a note being very positive about a this being linked with the new  Masdar City ( low carbon city ) in the UAE. 


I could go on at length about how cool it is  but I'm not . I like this and I wish it all the best.
