The whole system is so stupid; so inflexible and incompatible. It’s as though we are taking our “Top Tips for Transport” from corrupt third world countries and serving up glossed-over malfunction, repeatedly.
The monorail is an interesting case. I think there is still a station or 2 remaining.

I don't think it ever worked financially as a transport option in the CBD, but I wonder what would have happened if it was offered as a type of slow city tour from above with a sit down meal?
