JB Monorail
-
This just in from RTM TV1 local news bulletin.
The Johor Government plans to build a new monorail system linking Johor Bahru City Centre with Senai, Skudai and the upcoming Nusajaya Town. To be completed by 2010, the local government will soon invite foreign and local firms to bid for design and construction of the system. -
This should be the first monorail line in JB rite?
Anyway, there will be a new LRT line in Kuala Lumpur(Putrajaya) that will be coming in the future and constructions have already taken place. -
They have to improve the bus svs
It's quality and not quantity that matters -
who knows it might only come into operation beyong 2010?

This JB Monorail should be very hard to predict. Why not wait to see some news or constructions first?

Incidentally, after reading and browsing some websites regarding the proposed JB Monorail, I discovered that...
- Penang, Kuching and Kota Kinabalu will also have their own Monorail systems soon
- the Monorail systems planned for the abovementioned places will be developed under the Rancangan Malaysia ke-9 (9th Malaysian Plan/RMK-9)
- the JB Monorail system will cost an estimated RM 1 billion, with 2 local firms with foreign partnerships, including South Korea, reportedly have submitted proposals to the Johor Government
- the JB Monorail is just one of a few rail networks to be developed under the Johor Bahru Masterplan 2020, which will include a Transport Hub similar to KL Sentral (JB's side will be called JB Sentral)
- the JB local rail network will be complemented by a Bullet Train system linking JB and KL, part of the 9MP Southern Corridor Development
- JB Sentral Transport Hub will be operational by year's end and will be Johor Bahru's main transit terminal
- Johor Bahru KTM Station will be turned into a Railway Museum once KTM operations have shifted to JB Sentral
- as recent as last week, 2 companies have submitted their bids, costing around RM 1.6 billion to construct Penang monorail network, known as LMT (Light Monorail Transit); one of the companies also announced that it is ready to invest RM 150 million to construct a hi-speed monorail system across the Penang Straits linking Penang and Seberang Prai
- Penang rail network will come under the 9MP Northern Corridor Development -
... and the proposed Bullet Train system have now been extended to Singapore. I would love to see that happen.
