I used to not really care either way about rail transit. But the more I think about it, the more it just makes sense.

It would be nice to be within walking distance (or at least biking distance) to a rail stop. I would love to be able to commute via rail to work (From NW 23rd and Classen to Del City). We need some forward thinkers to figure out the best way to do that. To orchestrate a MAPS like program for rail connection all through the metro.

I would imagine that most passengers would use rail in traffic flow patterns that already exist as interstates. For example, a cross pattern from Edmond to Norman and from Yukon to Midwest City. Those would be higher speed rails to get from one major location to another. Rail Branches could then take you to specific areas like the Adventure District, NW Expwy, Westmoore, Capital, and so on...

Las Vegas has a new monorail system that travels up and down Las Vegas Blvd making stops at the major resorts. Having a monorail zig-zag through downtown, Bricktown and on through neighborhoods sure would add a unique flair to rail transit.

I think a monorail would be easier to install on major thoroughfares. Simply build up on medians. Monorail would also be more convenient to maneuver through residential areas. You wouldn't have to tear up streets or widen roads with a monorail system. That would save a lot of money in itselft.

Just dreaming here...
