oooh ok that sounds neat, how exactly are they built? do they just follow the roads? detroit has the people mover which is a pretty decent monorail but it goes mostly to entertainment things (the joe louis arena, greektown casino, etc) so it's not very efficient for people using it for work or anything like that especially with no connection to the metro areas. but w a decent level of stops in a decently designed city it sounds pretty feasible then 

i am aware i keep comparing everything to detroit but it's where i kno best so o well (poop emoji)
