Calling a schwebebahn a monorail is quality trolling.
To be fair, it is not really floating. Hanging maybe. Hängebahn?
“Monorail” is literally what this particular system is named in Japanese katakana.
Other suspension track systems in Japan also have “monorail” in their names.
According to Wikipedia, suspension railway systems are a subset of monorail systems. The Schwebebahn systems in Germany were the first of these.
Its the one you take if you go for a day trip from Tokyo to Enoshima, which is a really beautiful island with a dragon cave and a tower you can climb for a view. Highly recommended!
