	Freeway\|Monorail - Regional transit standards (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		One of the criticisms of monorail technology is the naive perception that it does not have sufficient capacity.
		Monorail systems can utilize smaller vehicles without losing capacity by running very frequently, with the wait between trains as little as a minute and a half.
		Tokyo’s monorail system carries upwards to 200,000 people per day (and Hitachi, the manufacturer of the system specifies a peak capacity of 19,000 passengers per hour per direction).

	Frequently Asked Questions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The Tokyo monorail carries almost 200,000 people everyday, more than Sound Transit has estimated for light-rail in this region, and according to Hitachi, the manufacturers of the Tokyo monorail, it has a peak capacity of over 18,000 passengers per hour per direction.
		Monorails don't derail, get in accidents, get stuck in traffic or break down, making them not only safer but also one of the most reliable and more rapid.
		Any additional costs involved in the development of the freeway monorail would likely be to improve conditions that already need improving: buffer existing freeway noise from neighborhoods, seismic upgrades to the freeway, etc. Sound Transit's light-rail plan is becoming increasingly costly because of the need to mitigate problems of its own creation.

		Tokyo is essentially a gigantic (and fascinating) warren of narrow streets with no names which is best explored using a mixture of the excellent mass transit system and your feet.
		Tokyo has a vast array of sights, but the first items on the agenda of most visitors are the temples of Asakusa, the gardens of the Imperial Palace (in Chiyoda) and the Meiji Shrine (in Harajuku).
		Tokyo is probably one of the safest cities you will ever visit, and Japan in general is one of the safest places to visit in the world.

	Tokyo Disneyland Monorail
		For a start, the planned monorail vehicles for Tokyo Disneyland are far bigger, with guests being able to move between "carriages" while the vehicle is in motion.
		The increased size, compare to the monorails operating at other Disney properties is required for the monorail to conform to the transit standards of the Japanese Monorail Association.
		The monorail planned will encircle both the current Tokyo Disneyland theme park, and the new Disney Seas theme park which is currently under construction, and scheduled for completion during 2001.

	History of the Disney Monorails
		The monorail system at Disneyland has been purposely designed and developed to include curvatures of 120 feet radius, overpasses, and grades of 7%, in order to demonstrate the practicality of this system under different construction and topographic conditions.
		The monorails are electrically powered, operating on 600-volt direct current transmitted along a pair of copper and steel buss bars mounted on the right side of the beam.
		While the monorails at Disneyland and Walt Disney World are without a doubt monorails, the Tokyo Disney Resort Line has been, due to its scale, referred to by many as the first real Disney park monorail.

	HITACHI GLOBAL : News Releases from Headquarters : Nov 7, 2002
		Chongqing City regards monorail as one of the most significant means for improvement and development of transportation network, and has decided to construct further new lines for the straddle type monorail other than Jioxin-line, with a total of 60 to 80km.
		Among these new transportation systems, the straddle type monorails have a long history and achievements since the opening of the Tokyo Monorail System, operated between Hamamatsu-cho Station and Haneda Airport Station, in 1964, as the world's first urban transport system.
		Other than Tokyo Monorail that has opened in 1964, Hitachi's monorail system has been introduced and adopted in Kita Kyushu, Osaka, Tama (Tokyo), and Okinawa, keeping top share in the domestic urban transport market.

	Japanese Transit Profitability – No Monopoly for Monorails
		Monorail advocates frequently make extravagant assertions about the supposedly exceptional "profitability" of monorail systems, particularly compared to light rail transit (LRT) and other standard rail transit systems.
		Zealous monorail supporters have been known to make claims such as "the only public transportation systems in the world being run for profit are monorail systems." This, it's argued, should be considered "evidence of superior technology."
		It should be noted that, particularly in Japan – where traffic volumes are high, transport by automobile is less encouraged than in North America, and public transport is encouraged through government policies – a number of rail passenger modes, including LRT (light rail), report operating profits.

	Monorails, Light Rail, and Automated vs. Non-Automated Transit Operation: Comparative Costs in Japan and USA
		The claims of lower monorail OandM costs are widely regarded with considerable skepticism, particularly when one considers the need for beamway paving, power system maintenance, vehicle maintenance and tire replacements, monorail switch maintenance, and similar needs.
		Unfortunately, because the deployment of monorails and similar "gadget" systems has been relatively minuscule worldwide, there is not a large pool of real-world, urban revenue-service experience from which to draw data.
		Tokyo's "Eidan" subway system carries an enormous traffic density, and the cost of operating the necessary facilities is actually higher than the facilities necessary for Salt Lake City's traffic density.

		Tokyo Disney Resort's monorail system is similar, but built to Japanese public transportation standards and therefore larger than the American monorails.
		And while seeing a monorail in the USA is something of a novelty, Japan's public transportation system has been using them for decades.

	The History of Hitachi-Alweg
		Hitachis first monorail line was put in service in March, 1962, and is known as the Inuyama Rhine Park monorail.
		When Tokyo was chosen as the site of the 18th Olympic Summer Games to be held in 1964 it was decided to connect downtown Tokyo and Tokyo International Airport at Haneda with a 13.1km long Hitachi-Alweg monorail line.
		For the monorail this an ominous picture because it very clearly illustrates that the Haneda Line, ingenious as it may be, is one of those special situation lines where monorail offers the most practical solution.
