Hmm, my version limits the monorail to 2000/line or station. That city must've been mostly/all residential too.

They don't want to share the actual rails with freight trains, they just want to share the rail corridor with them. Which does require heavier trains but doesn't mess up scheduling.

It just says that. Go ahead, load 10 thousand riders onto a single monorail line (build five parallel lines carrying the entire cities population to work, the bulldoze four of them) and check the commute time: it doesn't budge, even though the conjestion was just multiplied by five.

OH! So you're using an exploit.

I'm not using any exploits.
