Skytrains my dude, similar footprint, same tech, and I assume it costs significantly less, and is able to dip underground when there absolutely ISNT the footprint for it above ground
At the end of the day, they’re still just trains, and while Vancouver’s trains DO seem to be somewhat bafflingly effected by severe weather, for the most part things keep running like normal as it still is only somewhat
My guess would be that they are separated from any traffic, just like a subway and unlike trams or buses which are a part of it. No other traffic = less delays and accidents = more reliable transport

Monorail!
Monorail!
The ring came off my pudding can.
While monorails are cool, skytrains are literally just trains and thus insanely hard to beat for cost vs efficiency
Bleh
Would sky trains be as reliable? I assume subways are more reliable partially due to not being exposed to the elements.
