95% of the time, monorails are the wrong technology for a transit corridor. 95% of the time, monorail backers are armchair planners with no real idea what they're talking about.
But 5% of the time monorails are legitimately correct, and even a broken clock is right twice a day. Automatically trotting out the Simpsons every time a monorail is mentioned is every bit as much an armchair-no-real-idea move as assuming monorails are right without thinking critically.
Monorails are nothing but a tool. Not magically good, not magically bad. Use them when they're the right tool.
