Monorail As a Low Cost Solution

For cities such as Los Angeles, one of the best solutions would be to build a monorail system that runs from Downtown through the Westside. I've heard that there is discussion about making Pico Blvd. and Olympic Blvd. one way streets to help the flow of traffic. This is absolutely insane. We keep putting bandaids on the problem. I think that a monorail system, such as the type you've seen as Disneyland, would be a great way to add a quick transportation solution. It could use existing street structures by simply putting an elevated system, or even a non-elevated system to the streets that exist. It's comparatively inexpensive, clean, and can support a lot of movement. I heard the head of the MTA say that monorails are nothing more than what LA already has with its existing bus system. What a joke! Our bus system is slow, smelly, old technology, and doesn't meet the current needs.
