Honestly extending Dortmunds H-Bahn to the city center. It is completly stupid as there is already an extensive light rail system, which covers every logical approach so well, the H-Bahn is a complete gadget bahn and most stupidly I have never even been to Dortmund. But I like small automated metros and suspended railways are really really cool too. So any system which combines both is just awesome to me.

I only know the very similar version at the airport Düsseldorf and it is honestly not very good.

If you want to see a well working hanging rail system, visit the Schwebebahn in Wuppertal. That one has also proven its use as a real urban transit system for more than a hundred years.
