Metropolis [1927] came very close to getting this prediction right.

This is good. Saucer has a rear-view mirror, grille, headlights and a stick radio antenna. And poor dad is still pushing a lawnmower around.Colonel Sun wrote:

Blade Runner is now futurism of the past, retro-future.

Osaka Expo 1970
Followed the highly successful Expo 1967 in Montréal.
The monorail built for the exhibition still operates today from Itami airport to the Hankyu rail line and stops at the Expo Commemorative Park.

Re: Futurism of the Past
that would be the first monorail Ive heard of which is more than just a white elephant.
in nearly all cases they are just a very expensive and clumsy way of doing a bus route.

Re: Futurism of the Past
Well, it's in active use.
The Osaka Monorail connects with most of the major train lines and one of the subway lines.
There is a proposal to add four more stations.
My only complaint is that the train connections are at minor stations, only serviced by the local milk-run trains, not the express trains.
In Tokyo, there is the Tokyo Monorail, built for the Tokyo 1964 Olympics, which runs from Haneda International Airport to downtown connecting with the Yamanote [Green] line which does a loop around Tokyo. Apparently, there is a proposal to extend the monorail to central Tokyo Station, the original plan.
As you may recall, monorails were a huge fad solution to public transport during part of the 20th century. However, they never, er, took off.
