Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but i really like how calm the street scenes are without cars. There’s also a 1902 / now comparison video which is kind of depressing, i thought i’d rather post something nice :)

    Monorails are usually not the most practical solution. In most places where you can build a monorail, a regular train is usually simpler and cheaper to build. Wuppertal has some very specific geography which causes a monorail following the path of the river Wupper to make sense, but that often doesn’t translate well to other places.

    Tom Scott made a video about it at some point:

    And a video on the Schwebebahn by The Tim Traveller:
