| - Yes, I'm reviewing a public transport system, and why not? Near the top of the agenda list when I'm in landing in Vegas for a tradeshow convention is get a three day pass for the monorail. Why? It's much more affordable than taxis!!
And I'm a man of frugality, and I enjoy using public transport where it proves to be most efficient in saving me time. Taxi lines in Vegas are long at times, you have to be queued to get in said vehicle, probably wait ten to forty or more minutes. And then getting out of the taxi is a pain in the butt - because the taxi can only drop passengers at the appropriate "safe" location, where there's a huge traffic jam of people.
The Las Vegas Monorail, on the other hand, goes along a good portion of The Strip, covers every destination I visit and need to get to when I'm in town. Usually takes about 30 minutes to go from MGM Grand Terminal Station to the Sahara Terminal Station and I usually don't have to wait more than 5-7 minutes each time when I want to use the Monorail. I always get my money's worth with the three day pass - as I usually use the Monorail at least four times a day. The savings from dealing with cab fare and the most valued resource, time, is worth it to use the Monorail.
