- Mono rail can go in congested short streets whereas Metro Rail cannot go in busy, overcrowded street.
- Monorail can be built faster with less cost. It consumes minimal space.
- Mono Rail can carry upto 700 people at a time. Metro Rail can carry thousands of people
- Metro Rail can travel at higher speed than Mono Rail. Mono rail can go at 85 km per hour
- Mumbai is constructing second largest Mono Rail in the world. Delhi, Bangalore go with Metro Rail. Delhi has plans to introduce Mono Rail too.
- Monorail travels in Single track
Metro rail has become very common in many parts of the world and the smart feature of metro rail is that the track is on ground, underground and over ground depending upon availability of space. So the same train may go under ground and within second come out of the tunnel and start running on a overhead track for some time. Some very successful and popular metro rail systems around the world are New York Subway, Shanghai metro, and the London Underground metro system. All over the world, whatever their nomenclature, underground rail systems are popular as metros. Today metro rail has become one of the fastest and most efficient system of transport of people in metros and other big cities around the world. Metro rail system has to be supported with a bus transport system as it has stations at places where there are no other means of transport available for people to reach their destination. As underground routes of metro rail allow the rail to bypass the traffic on the ground, rail can move at great speeds bringing much convenience for people.

| MONO TRAIN |
The earliest monorails were born out of necessity to connect two points that needed materials in a fast time period. However, they were first thought of as a mass transit system in 50’s though they could not progress beyond a point because of stiff competition from automobiles and also because of high cost of manufacture of the track. But with traffic congestion becoming monstrous, the concept of monorail got a boost with Japan successfully running a monorail across Tokyo that carries more than a hundred thousand passengers daily. Monorails have all along been used in amusement parks. The maglev system developed by German scientists which is magnetic levitation and the train appears to be running on air, has become very popular as it not only allows very fast speeds, deceleration of monorail moving at a very high speed in moments is also possible. Maglev trains are one of the fastest running transport system on earth (besides airplanes of course), and speeds of nearly 600kmph have been achieved.

In India Delhi Metro has started its function on 2002. Last year October itself Bangalore has started. Construction is going on chennai and mumbai metros.
