Topic: Jakarta Monorail

	Monorail - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A monorail is a transit system, resembling a metro or railroad with a track nominally consisting of a single rail (actually a beam), as opposed to the traditional track with two parallel rails.
		Monorails today are powered by electric motors fed by dual third rails, contact wires or electrified channels attached to or enclosed in their guidamce beams.
		The term 'monorail' is often applied by members of the public to any modern elevated railway, particularly automated ones such as the Docklands Light Railway, Vancouver SkyTrain and the JFK AirTrain, but this usage is erroneous; these systems use the same twin rails and electric third rail as most underground metros and some main-line railways.

		In evaluating the performance of the Jakarta Police in 2005, it would be impossible to give the force a passing mark in view of the rising crime rate.
		Whatever the reasons, the increase in the crime rate is of real concern for all Jakartans, who long for security at home, on the streets of the city and in their places of work.
		It is somewhat surprising that the crime rate rose in a year when the Jakarta Police introduced several new initiatives to improve its services to the public.

		The organization, which is conducting a series of studies on public transportation, asserted that the busway would be preferable to the ambitious monorail project and the very costly subway.
		A monorail is now under construction by private consortium PT Jakarta Monorail, while a subway is being planned jointly by the Jakarta administration and the central government.

		The Las Vegas monorail is back on track for a scheduled July 15 opening after nearly six months of costly delays during which engineers worked out various kinks that threatened the rail system's reliability.
		The mention of attractiveness is right on; the only advantage monorails have over cheaper surface or elevated rail is that they can be made to look better and perhaps sound quieter.
