Thanks for the suggestion... and believe me that I have been toying with the idea of a monorail/meglev mass transit system, but...

I am trying to decide how the traffic of Dystopia should be zoned. Personally, I like walking, so pedestrian traffic in this city is a where most of the ground level interaction takes place which incidentally works very well for an upcoming series I am working on with stonemason. Underground mass transit traffic will take place in the first five to ten subterranean levels along with all the basic wiring and piping utilities lines. So yes, you can expect a Dystopian Underground eventually.

Vehicular ground level traffic will be pretty much devoted to personal services related movement... including short-hop hover shuttle services between the major starports. Low zone air traffic is for personal civilian travel. Medium zone air traffic space is usually reserved for bulk transport. And finally high zone air traffic would be reserved space for priority vehicles... like medical transports, military transports... royalty... that sort of thing.

So, the above ground maglev/monorail sort of configuration doesn't quite fit in with this vision. I hope that doesn't disappoint, but there is a method to this ongoing madness. :o)
