Light Rail Vehicles - LRT, ICTS, Monorail, and more

[Markster]

Both Monorail and AGT systems are built to a standard. The monorail beams are a standard dimension and so are the AGT tracks. It is standardized by Japan. When I get home I will show you the documents and dimensions. Please just stop, let's discuss and share interesting transportation alternatives.

You misinterpreted my use of "standard". I do not dispute that those systems are built to a set of specs unique to those systems. Don't worry, you don't need to prove it.

Absolutely! Discussion should probably try to avoid statements of which systems are "best" or "better", and focus on what makes them unique.

On the topic of Japanese AGTs,
The Omiya New Shuttle is kinda neat, in that they built the guideway as part of the elevated Shinkansen. The neighbourhood had objected to the huge new viaduct cutting through with no local service, but the area didn't need a full heavy rail line, and so this was chosen as a lower cost system. It shares concrete piers with the Shinkansen.
