I usually poke fun at Willie’s threads with Lyle Langley references, but in this particular geographic area a monorail MIGHT come closer than usual to making economic sense.

I guess the Wolfpack doesn’t do busses.

Sounds Great!

Let’s just increase the student tuition to cover the costs of construction.

How do monorails compare with light rail systems?

I’ve never been clear on that.

Are you aware of any good work on this?

This thread is screaming for Monorail Cat.

Why don’t they increase offerings of distance learning courses, thus reducing the need for bodies to actually be on campus in the first place.

It would be much less expensive, I’m sure.

So, how long would it be before the fares pay for the system?

Oh, you mean that other people will pay for it even if they don’t ride it. Like Amtrak?

If one of these schemes were a good idea, private enterprise would have built it long ago and it would be so desirable to ride that people would pay what it actually cost to ride it.
