Disney had the right idea with monorails

Re “A Park With a Powerful Spell,” July 17

I remember an interview with Walt Disney (circa 1962) in which he talked about his pride in the monorail and his hopes that the system would be eventually expanded to his original intent, which was to cover Orange County and L.A. with a net of overhead rails. The expansion would allow Disneyland to expand into the areas reserved for parking, with the public parking at the outlying stations and riding to the park (and to the beaches, work, church, airports, etc.) by monorail. We struggle with light rail, busways, diamond lanes, Metrolink and the collisions at the level crossings when Disney had the solution decades ago. And yet your article does not include a single reference to this simple and efficient, not to add safe, silent and comfortable mode of public transportation.
