What is monorail?

  • monorail is a rail-based transportation system based on a single rail, which acts as its sole support and its guideway.
  • The term is also used variously to describe the beam of the system, or the vehicles traveling on such a beam or track. The beam in a monorail system is narrower than the vehicle.
