Many monorail systems run through crowded areas that would otherwise require expensive tunneling or dangerous level crossings.
Aside from mass transit and people mover systems, a large number of smaller monorails have been built in amusement parks and at zoos.
Only true monorails (vehicle wider than track) are included; see people mover for a list of monorail-like systems.
Systems used primarily for passenger transportation, characterised by enclosed cars, multiple stations and open on a regular basis.
[59] Several proposals have been made for a Monorail system in South Africa including one in Johannesburg [89] metropolitan area, one in Durban [90] and one in Capetown.
