Bradbury's Monorail Idea is so Old School

Tammy Bruce and others aren't going to like this but it has to be said. Ray Bradbury is an excellent writer who has penned many classics but at age 87 he is a blabbering fool when it comes to transportation issues in Los Angeles.

For years Bradbury has had a major woody for monorails as a transportation solution in Los Angeles even though there are many, many operational and logistical reasons why such a system wouldn't work. LAist has video of Bradbury once again rattling on about monorails. If you want to explore something beyond busways, light rail and subways personal rapid transit (PRT) might be the perfect hybrid of mass transit and the independent LA car culture.

Lets just not hope people use their sentimental attachment to Bradbury as a reason to implement a poor transportation decision. We already have folks like Zev Yarovslasky who can make these poor decisions on his own.
