ARDid you know monorails have been around since the 1820s, starting with Henry Robinson Palmer’s horse-drawn version? Unlike traditional railways, they run on a single narrow beam—usually elevated—making them ideal for bypassing road traffic and fitting neatly into crowded cities. Quick to build with prefabricated parts, resistant to derailment, and able to handle sharp curves, monorails are both practical and futuristic in appearance. However, they face challenges such as difficult passenger evacuation from elevated tracks and limited freight capacity. Today, systems like the Moscow Monorail and Eurotren Monoviga showcase the diverse ways cities continue to adapt this innovative transport technology.
