Monorail! Monorail! Monorail!

Ontario Place needs a monorail.

That maze of ugly condo towers on the waterfront needs a monorail.

Toronto buried a trolley line in a sinkhole, for God's sake ...  the Queens Quay streetcar cave cars keep driving into. Cars can't climb onto a monorail.

The Simpsons had a monorail in 1993, during the fourth season. It was glorious. Yes, Springfield's monorail came to a bad end--but any worse than downtown T.O's never-ending construction disaster movie nightmares?

How great to see The Ringer rightly celebrate the monorail in an extensive interview with Springfield monorail creator Conan O'Brien.

If you go here, you will find the story of The Monorail episode, plus a YouTube clip of O'Brien singing The Monorail Song with a cast of hundreds at a Simpsons fan convention.
