ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Monorail

Hey kiddo, have you ever been on a magic carpet ride like Aladdin and Jasmine in the movie? The monorail is a bit like that, but instead of a carpet, it's like a train that runs on a single track up above the ground.

You know how cars and buses have to drive on the road to get from one place to another, right? The monorail is like a super special train that doesn't have to worry about traffic, potholes, or anything else that might slow it down. This means it can go really fast and get places really quickly.

Sometimes, monorails are used in theme parks to help people go from ride to ride without having to walk everywhere. They're also used in big cities to help people get around quickly without having to worry about all the other cars on the road.

The monorail looks a bit like a long, skinny train that is up in the air. It has wheels and runs on a track that is supported by big, tall poles. Sometimes, these poles are decorated with bright colors or fun designs to make the monorail ride even more exciting.

So, next time you see a monorail, remember it's like a magic carpet ride up in the air that takes you to where you want to go quickly and safely!
