Southern_California_Should_Build_a_Monorail

Southern California Should Build a Monorail Everyday there is crazy traffic on the 405 freeway. Usually it takes 20 minutes to Los Angeles, but it sometimes takes an hour to go there because there are too many cars on the freeway. People have to leave home early to get to their destinations on time, and it is very stressful. Moreover, uncountable people die by car accidents on the freeway. In addition, cars have a bad effect on the earth such as a global warming. In fact, the construction of a monorail in southern California would be the best solution for these problems. To begin with, a monorail is environmentally friendly. According to an article, Environment Friendly by the Monorail Society, the Las Vegas monorail assisted the annual removal of 3.2 million vehicle miles in south Nevada in 2007. Moreover, it reduced more than 58 tons of poisonous substances such as carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds, and nitrogen oxides. In fact, southern California has so many freeways that it has a lot of emissions of poisonous substances. Therefore, if we build the monorail and start using it instead of cars, we can protect the global environment. Moreover, the monorail has an extremely high safety rate because there are no deaths by monorail accident because of structure, the monorail is not going to jump off the rail and flip over. Also, the monorail is not on the ground, so there is no possibility that it could run over people. Therefore, it can save many lives. Furthermore, the monorail needs less space to be built and is good for hills. The monorail does not needs lots of space to be built because it does not need a slow curve. It can have a pretty sharp breaking curve compared with train rails. In addition, people could make something beneath the monorail and they do not need a railroad crossing; therefore, it is also good for hills because we do not need to lay a railroad on the ground. In short, the monorail can be built in a limited space and on the hillside. In fact, the monorail is an efficient vehicle to carry people because it always runs on time and does not slow down. According to a website, MetoroRail, Walt Disney World has a total of 12 monorails. Of course, there are no traffic jams, so people can get to their destinations on time. It might be very helpful for business persons; for example, when they have an important meeting, they can go there without worrying about getting stuck in a heavy traffic. Therefore, it can carry people to their destinations on time efficiently The monorail can reduce traffic on the freeway in southern California. Furthermore, the monorail does not obstruct the landscape because the monorail’s tracks can be hidden. For example, the Oasis Shopping Center in Broad beach, Australia, looks like a multi-story hall at first glance. However, there is a monorail track in the top level of the center. Also, the monorail is very quiet when it runs, so it is unnecessary to make noise blocking walls. Therefore, it can harmonize with the surrounding landscape. Thus, the construct of the monorail would be greatly efficient in southern California. It does not emit any bad substances, so it is good for the environment. It is a safe vehicle because people have never died in monorail accidents. In addition, it does not need a lot of space to build and we also can build it on hillsides. It carries people to their destinations perfectly on time. Moreover, we can reduce traffic on the freeways and it never obstructs the landscape. Therefore, we should build the monorail to live better.
