    Read the article, that’s literally the first thing they explain

    Besides which, it’s very obviously a train if you just look at it. It’s a small monorail train specifically designed for this purpose using existing infrastructure.

    People are never fucking happy.

      A train is a collection of rolling railcars propelled by one or more locomotives. These are individual self-powered railcars.

      So no, there’s no train here. Just monorail pods that will get congested as density increases.

      The whole concept of a train is that all the cars move together and the only congestion is at the switching yards, where it can be optimized.

        Isn’t it better to have a train that runs when you want rather than having to wait potentially hours for the scheduled commuter train. Isn’t this better?
