The QoD response says that the Seattle monorail operation is self-
sufficient with a ridership of 7000 passengers a day, but the LA
monorail, carrying 20000 per day, is not! But doesn't explain why.

And they are expecting the veicular traffic on the streets to grow by
60% in te next four years.

Thinking about that I wonder if ridiculously long limousines are taxed

at a higher rate for using the roads than regular automobiles. They must contribute greatly to the traffic situation, though their presence must lend something to the ambience. --- In vpFREE@yahoogroups.com, "vpFae6128305" <vpfae6128305@...> wrote:

its slow .
its rough.
its expensive.
its wheels fall off.
it only services half the strip so it really doesnt get you to where
you need to go.
its at least a half mile from the casino stations to the strip.
there is no convienent free real parking for it
all the locals who have cars know faster back routes anyway
