I am in Seattle this week and have really enjoyed the good bus service they have here. Next week I will publish a guide on riding the Seattle buses. Yesterday I decided to take a ride on the Seattle Monorail. This might have been one of the most exciting monorail rides I have ever been on! It’s just over 2 minutes, shakes and bumps around where you think “this is the end of my life” several times and the 2 minute ride costs $4.
To save you from spending the money on this very exciting trip, I filmed a ride from the Seattle Center to downtown as if you were riding. The display showed a top speed of just under 60mph. It was very noisy so please excuse the background sound.

cool- looks a bit like the wuppertal
But why is that so noisy?
yea i dont know andreas – but wuppertal is upside down of this – but relatively close – this uses rubber wheels – i think wuppertal uses normal train wheels.
