Simcity 4 Rush Hour train transporation query

Just a quick query for you train buffs. I had a muck around with elevated
rail tonight and I figured out how to link it to my subway network (I
think).

I was wondering, which has the higher capacity? Elevated rail, or a
monorail? Which is better for shifting Sims around the city, and which is
better for getting them to neighbouring cities?

Thanks,

Jason.

Well, those two transit networks serve different purposes. El-rail is
designed to be a link for inside the city. Monorail (what's it called?
Monorail! etc.) is for ferrying large numbers of Sims from city to city.
I've seen it used successfully for intra-city transport by such SimCity
Central members as the Monkey's Uncle and others. The only catch is that
they're expensive as ****.
