We have looked at most of the well-recognized modes of public transportation, but what about some of the lesser utilized ones? This week we spend some time looking at lesser known modes of public transportation, and we look at how they are utilized around the world by different cities and communities. 

We look at monorails, and their ability to offer a medium-level rail option without the footprint of laying tracks on the ground. We look at aerial gondolas and how they are able to connect neighborhoods in areas with difficult topography, and we look at maglev trains, and how they can offer high speed rail using newer technology.
