monorail system
Elevated beam transportation
A monorail system is a railway in which trains run on or are suspended from a single rail or beam, rather than the paired tracks of conventional rail.
Monorails typically serve as transit in airports, theme parks, or urban areas where elevated routes reduce ground-level congestion: The monorail system connects the terminals.
The sleek, futuristic design has made monorails iconic in visions of modern transportation, though they remain less common than traditional rail.
