  the definition of a monorail is a train that travels on a single track or guideway..like the concrete booms for the Sentosa Express..in fact theres nothing to quarrel about..BECAUSE a monorail is actually classified as a Light rail System..light rail systems are actually just a general group or type of transportation like monorails, LRTs, trams etc. so guys i hope this kinda clears ur misconceptions and lets stay happy and cheerful yea??
  
  btw i just went to Sentosa two days ago..the piece of guideway along the Causeway sector is still incomplete but i think it should be finished right around now or soon..i also saw the orange trains in the depot too when i was on the Sky Tower but my view was slightly blocked so unfortunately no pictures taken..the stations look cool btw..it will have a glass roof and is somewhat shaped like Expo station..correct me if im wrong in any way guys..
  
  off-topic:
  SIJORI WONDERGOLF IS A MOZZIE-BREEDING HAVEN..their waterfalls and pools have been neglected and i swear the pools there are filled with mosquito larvae..i took a golf club to swirl the water and there was actually a scum layer on top of it!! shows how long the water has not been touched..i think im gonna report this to NEA..

  hmmm for me, monorail or LRT as long as it served the public well, it is a good system?
  
  So does this point make both side agreeable?

  why can only operate end 2006? i tot the tracks are already in place, and the trains, wont really need many test rite? since its only a light rail and only 4 trains.
  
  btw, has the old monorail in sentosa gone and dismantled?

  WARNING TO ALL
  
  You may wanna say it is Monorail, but in engineering, that is NOT monorail
  
  You say Monorail to an engineer, he/ she would never understand you

  are we engineers?

  yes the old one is under dismantling..some tracks left here and there but almost gone..the new stations have yet to be completed..still surrounded by scaffolding the last time i saw them..so we still need to wait a while more..and there is a need to test them..anything new should be tested before being allowed to run and transport the public..no one can guarantee that the monorails are 100% safe to use immediately..just like the LRT system..

  Hmm... It looks a lot like the KL Monorail. Ok.. maybe a more sleeker appearance.

  Well, the new Sentosa LRS serves a more modern purpose. Think its because of the Sentosa is an integrated resort.
  
  Sentosa is no longer just a sightseeing place. So the old monorail is gotta go.
  
  So Sentosa's transportation system is like a small Singapore transportation system. A matrix public transport system. Transit from a main tain transit to bus transit to the other smaller parts of the island.
