A limousine, also spelt limosine or just limo for short, is a luxury car. Limousines are usually very long, and can seat a lot of people.

A monorail is similar to a train in that it travels along a fixed track. The main difference is a monorail has only one track, not two like regular trains. Some kinds of monorail hover above their track (also called a rail or beam). These are called maglev monorails.
Many monorails travel on raised tracks above a city. Not all monorails are raised like this. The beams a monorail travels on are large and solid and are often cast out of concrete, like the raised platform itself.
A motorbike is a two-wheeled vehicle powered by an engine, the same as a car is. Motorbikes come in a variety of sizes and speeds, but usually only fit one or two people.
