"There's nothing on earth
Like a genuine, bona fide
Electrified, six-car MONORAIL!!!
Springfield is getting a Monorail... again! And this time it might even work!
Lay down the tracks and take your citizens and visitors on the scenic, marginally elevated route through your city. With so many building options available, your Monorail will be as unique as your imagination, or at least your Springfield, so don't wait for the proper building permits to start building in our new update!"
