ABSTRACT:
A monorail rapid transit system including a plurality of cars coupled together to form a train and supported for travel on a main track comprising a pair of upstanding rails arranged in spaced-apart parallel relationship and including an auxiliary track diverging obliquely from one side of the main track at an intersection and having one rail in common with one rail of the main track, each of the cars including at least one pair of retractable guide arms pivotally movable into guiding engagement with the rails on opposite sides of the track together with a central guide member on the car accommodated between the rails for guiding engagement therewith, whereby pivotal movement of the arms selectively into engagement with only one of the rails permits the car to be guideably directed either on the main track or onto the auxiliary track when passing through the intersection.
