OP is over-meming.
>>1418202Short stop spacing trams are horrible.
>>1418149>easy delivery of goodsPipelines and cables already end at your home to distribute water and electricity. Railed library book conveyor like systems are nice, but ironically waste transfer is what railways would be used for. I would consider a ropeway conveyor for general goods delivery. Vacuum/evacuated/pneumatic tube is only good for light parcels and waste collection. Capital intensive systems, including track-primary linear motor cargo carts, can only be justified in high density logistic hubs upstream.
>>1418219The PRT shit isn't better. Worst is it will draw out all the freeway and autonomous car crowd. Not that I necessarily disagree with the idea. Contactless optically or magnetically guided is the best if you want some sort of "fixed" guideway.
If you imagine a mine cart network, switches would again be the headway constraint if you don't want to dwell on the main line, or want private mine carts / railcars. Theoretically, wheeled maglev (linear motor guidance and propulsion) should be the most suitable for its. Rubber-tyred contact guideways still need to operate switches.
If OP would just fucking walk, travelator, escalator, and elevator are physically-guided transports as well (railways have cable-propelled. In Trondheim, there's that bike lift.
For other continuous circulators, or monorail fans, Skyrail by Kobe Steel - MHI uses linear motors to propel detached gondolas. This somewhat reduced mechanical complexity might allow more stops to be fitted physically, ignoring cost and electrical equipment size. Beam support enable steeper gradient and tighter turns, which the cable-supported cableways need to consider cable tension and cornering.
