a railway system that has only one rail instead of two, usually in an elevated position
A monorail is a type of railway system where the train runs on a single rail, usually elevated above the ground. The track is supported by columns or beams, and the train moves along the rail, often in urban areas or theme parks. Monorails are designed to take up less space than traditional two-rail systems, and they can avoid traffic by traveling above ground. They are often used for public transportation, offering a quick and efficient way to move people through busy cities or specific locations.
