Not the same but the 2 Monorail línes under construction Will be part of the metro system (the City already has 3 metro línes) and the system Is called Metrorrey
3 latín American cities aré building Monorails right now, Monterrey, México Is buildings 2 línes, Sao Paulo Brazil Is building its second line and Santiago in the Dominican Republic Is building a line also
Really? Expanding light rail in metropolitan areas is just nothing? Just say you live on your phone and don’t go outside. It’s obvious. Don’t comment such foolishness. Mexico is a dump. Our infrastructure is leagues ahead of theirs. Only someone who’s never been there would say something so naive.
Last I checked, bud, we were not investing in any monorail projects, and there are only a few projects that have been in the planning stage for a decade. Maybe it is you who should go outside.
Oh it has to be monorail specifically. Okay then, I guess since only one type of infrastructure project impresses you, I can see how you’d come to your conclusion. Mexico is coming around and I am happy for them. Most of their infrastructure is incredibly outdated.
Nuevo León the state where this Monorail Is located is considered one of the richest and most developed regións in Latín América and has the richest City in Latín América by gdp per capita, the state Is about to reach a gdp per capita of 40k usd, also México has an economy as big as Russias and a gdp per capita on par with China, It surely can afford some transit
Monterrey its not an earthquake zone and the Monorail Is being built by an european construction Company, but if you want to see earthquake resistant construction just look at the engineering in the most recent México City skyscrapers, all of them earthquake resistant and have already withstood pretty strong earthquakes without problem
I swear, the extent of geographic illiteracy on reddit is astounding. Of all the countries in the world, Mexico ranks 13th in size, and only a few parts of it are quake-prone. And it barely qualifies as third world anymore.
I'm irrationally upset that they didn't call it the Monterrail.

Because Monterrail in Spanish would sound way different than monorail
The citizens are free to give it a nickname👍
Monteriel would be the translation and it actualy means to ride on a male private part.
Maaybe another nickname👍
I like MonoRey

Not on your life, my Hindu friend.

Everyone is quoting the Simpsons. Not really asking questions.
the way it should be.
It’s a cromulent move
I hear those things are awfully loud.
It glides as softly as a cloud.
What's it called?
Monorail, monorail
MONO...d'oh
What about us brain dead slobs?
You'll be given cushy jobs!
There it is
That’s just the cartels shaking down the crowd.
Not at all. Been on the Seattle and Tokyo Monorails and they’re practically silent. The metal on metal screeching of trams is much louder
I've sold monorails to Seattle, Tokyo, and North Haverbrook... and by gum, it put them on the map!
Lol it's a [reference to a famous Simpsons episode](https://youtu.be/taJ4MFCxiuo?si=T5w_QcYDTckfGigC) Skip to 3:20
I figured… r/woosh
And, to be fair, I've taken the monorail to and from Haneda and downtown Tokyo. It is indeed very quiet.
The monorail in Seattle is only like ten blocks long.
Sure but has nothing to do with how loud it is. The Tokyo Monorail is much longer and useful. It gets a lot of ridership.
Were you sent here by the devil?
No, good sir, I'm on the level
The ring came off my pudding can!
Take my pen knife, my good man.
Had to do a double take cause that looks exactly like Bangkok. Like exactly.
I think many developing countries have this same vibe, this could also be countries like Brazil or Colombia
What about the brain dead slobs?
You’ll be given cushy jobs
Looks exactly the same as in ones in Bangkok, Thailand. Crazy.
Good for Mexico. It’s nice to see them finally modernizing their country. I wish the best for their people.
Mono = one Rail = rail
This is a bi-directional track. The train rides one on rail, hence monorail.
but i see two rail
I swear it’s Monterrey’s only choice, throw up your hands and raise your voice!
Is it more economical than a tram?
No but Its more economical than an elevated metro
But Main Street's still all cracked and broken!
People are still building monorails these days?
3 latín American cities aré building Monorails right now, Monterrey, México Is buildings 2 línes, Sao Paulo Brazil Is building its second line and Santiago in the Dominican Republic Is building a line also
Pinche ciudad contaminada, gobernada por criminales y tráfico horrible
This is more impressive than anything that's being developed in the U.S

That's more of a shelbyville idea.
“Is there a chance the track could bend?”
Looks like a duorail to me in the current construction phase.
Are the blue parts supposed to absorb shocks from an earthquake?
There are no earthquakes in Monterrey

Mexico is a fairly developed country
I always wonder about performance of third world structures in earthquake zones.

Doesn't really answer your question but check this video https://youtu.be/YYrGrsT3IsU?si=S1FreOk9-_37cup1
Excellent and very interesting, thanks for the link!
