===Design concept=== {{Unreferenced section|date=July 2023}} The design of the system entails suspending passenger cars beneath rubber-tired wheel carriages of the type used more conventionally in the [[Paris Metro]]. The carriages are enclosed and supported by a box-like track or beam, with an opening in the bottom. The rubber wheels of the train run inside the track, supported by flanges on the bottom of the beam. Unlike previous suspended monorails like the [[Schwebebahn Wuppertal|Schwebebahn]] in [[Wuppertal]], Germany, the tracks are not exposed to inclement weather, and do not need any cleaning or ice-removal systems. This advantage enables them to run in cities where ice and other conditions would impair the reliability of the system.
