This is nice. You've obviously put a lot of thought into it. And a moonbase
really needs a monorail  :-)  Wish I had one  :-(

When the moonbase standards were first published, it occured to me that a
monorail might be set up directly on the seams between module baseplates.
Since the modules themselves have to be set back 4 studs, there should be at
least an 8-stud space between walls, just right for running a 6-stud-wide
train through.

Of course, corridors and track curves would complicate things a bit. I've
not given this the thought that you have, just throwing it out there as a
possibility.
