* There is at least one known monorail system which is '''not''' magnetically levitated, but nonetheless uses linear motors. This is the [[Moscow Monorail]]. Originally, traditional motors and wheels were to be used. However, it was discovered during test runs that the proposed motors and wheels would fail to provide adequate traction under some conditions, for example, when ice appeared on the rail. Hence, wheels are still used, but the trains use linear motors to accelerate and slow down. This is possibly the only use of such a combination, due to the lack of such requirements for other train systems.
* The [[TELMAGV]] is a prototype of a monorail system that is also not magnetically levitated but uses linear motors.
