When the city was crying out for mass transport options, it offered the potential to service remarkably few people – but was built anyway

Now wait just a minute we are twice as smart as the people of sydney. Just tell us your idea and we will vote for it.

I loved going on the monorail. Wasn't really useful and it was more of a touristy thing even for someone from Sydney. Just loved going over Sydney and staring out the windows.

Can’t say much that hasn’t been said. I used it a couple of times. Didn’t go anywhere useful, pretty expensive even in the 90s, hardly any capacity (like 4 seats and standing room per carriage), total tourist trap. At minimum you have to have stops where people need to go.

It’s a classic case of what happens when specific business lobby groups catch the ear of politicians.

Corruption or negligence? And does it make much difference? The impact is the same. A huge waste of tax payer money.
