“It will be either monorail or a MRT and we have not confirmed yet for which the investment going to be made. It will all depend on the proposals and cost effectiveness,” “At the moment the government is looking at it with an open mind.” Although monorail typically requires public investment due to the difficulty in covering investment costs, the BOI appears to be calling for private sector proposals in the hope of settling for a public-private partnership. He said the project has been estimated to cost 1.

so far we haven’t seen any visionary from this government but missionary yes talk too much theory but not in practical
Why not from Biyagama instead of Bataramulla??
May be Namal will invest a Bn ?
Bad idea we should go for a metro system based on proper trains and not a mono rail system that lacks capacity. If you take countries like Malaysia their ancient system is mono rail and all the other new installments are all based on latest modern trains. Sri Lankan political idiots installing metro which is like 30 is old and not suited for the modern day needs.
What is your point? you say both metro and monorail are flops? please clarify.
Bandaranaike goverment had a deal with Iran to make this Subway – Underground in 2004 it was supposed to start but then mahinda won the gov and took that money instead to be used for the war, and Iran would had spend the money in loans and workers ( They are best in the world in engenering under ground. However Mahinda canceled the deal when he restarted the war with LTTE. Monorail is cheaper and easyer to build. Underground more expensive, and need to check all buildings abow and the earth so it does not colapse. 10 times more expensive and take 10 years at least.
Now it didn’t do any harm.. Did it?
Now we live freely without the fear of when the next bomb will explode, when and where will be the next mass kidder happen..
So true. Monorail is outdated tech – if you’re going to invest at least invest in current technology rather than outdated tech. Metro systems are better for capacity. Underground system would be ideal.
Thailand built the monorail first, and then followed up with an MRT with interconnect stations. This kind of dual solution would be ideal because of the geology and topography of the city. Bangkok’s BTS Skytrain is still more popular, and it is this that connects the international airport to the city. Don Muang is still not well connected to the city, but the MRT may get there soon from Mo Chit.
Singapore has underground metro and a BT and a MRT at the sametime
Our water table is too high
Kandy road again skipped! That is a heck of road always gives lowest priority!
Moratuwa is already connected by normal rail. Get monorail to Piliyandala/Horana.
Good Idea, Will reduce Traffic near battaramulla region during mornings and evenings.
A developed country is not a place where the poor have cars. It’s where the rich use public transport
– paraphrased from Enrique Penalosa, former Mayor of Bogotá, Colombia
Mono Rail have limitations for example weight, capacity. Sri Lanka’s transportation need mass rapid transportation system. the best would be underground metro system.
High time for the Government to start a MRT project to reduce the traffic.
Monorail is cost effective but not suitable for longer journeys and cannot accommodate more people…Metro is a good Idea…Dubai Metro is a good example..successfully operating for the last 5 years. its Driverless and 100 percent safe. I am working in Dubai Metro..I hope the Sri Lanan Government will recruit experience people like us in future instead of recruiting there relatives with political influence…
LRT, MRT, Tram & Monorail each serve a different purpose. Depends on volume of passengers in peak/non-peak hours, the distance, the number of stops, etc. It is easy to say MRT is better than monorail, but costs of construction & operations are a huge consideration for the clients, and construction of a MRT system vs a monorail system has a significant difference.
It is hoped that the authorities selecting the system make a choice having full knowledge of the their own needs together with the benefits and constraints of each system. Either way, I wish the people of Sri Lanka all the best.
Would the system be built with cardboard? Cost for 30km of rapid transit in Sydney is over $8Billion excluding rolling stock cost !! And why is everyone associating MRT with underground? Can be done using viaduct. Secondly, why do you add another transport mode into the mix instead of fixing the existing? Change over the old unreliable diesels to electric, remove level crossings and upgrade stations. It is not rocket science. This is what happens when donkeys run the place.
pretty sure JICA knows better than you
Don’t be too sure. JICA will push what is beneficial to its countries industries. Please grow wise to development aid.
LRT is the best solution for countries like us. It very expensive to go underground.Mono rail is old concept which has its own limitations with safety and requirement of the people. It also has maintenance risk with the existing resources.Look at the countries like australia, Canada, UK and South Africa. Learn about Light Rail systems and how it s operate. But I am agree that it has a cost too.
Current news reports say no mono rail but a railway line. What is correct??
We must consider a hybrid that includes LRT MRT and monorail..a typical MRT is kinda impossible due to the water level in Srilanka(I said typical coz it doesn’t have to be underground always). Govt must give high priority to this project and private sectors must also involve in this project..a nation that goes under stress due to traffic in a daily basis would have a negative impact on their health in the long run..and secondly TIME IS MONEY, we can’t expect a rapid growth in our economy while wasting our time sitting on those seats doing nothing..also without having proper infrastructure we can’t attract foreign investments!
I see indications of short sightedness. Whatever mass transit systems should be designed to transport a large population from the plateau that forms a collar around and between the islands central massif and its low lying coastal plain. It is to this plateau that the permanent habitat of the islands population must be transferred over the next few decades. The coastal plains will be where water flowing down the massif to the coastal plains via the massif is trapped for agriculture, inland fisheries and for purification and export. It will also be where the commercial structures and ports will be located along with the tourist industry and regional corporate headquarters and human resource bases. This is where the islands population housed on the plateau will be employed and commute to for work. The mass transport systems must move them from the plateau to the coastal plains and back every day. This is a small part of the big picture that is generated by a clear perception of planetary processes and the dynamics of the global economy. Those who are interested in the whole picture know where to find it and it will soon be available on the first local virtual survival platform (VSP) which is in the making.,.
Nirmalan – interesting, but could you clarify the area you refer to as being a plateau? Land between the coast and the central province is constantly on the rise, is it not? Which is why we see hills commence from Awissawela onwards. I doubt there is enough space to do much between Colombo and there.
Will try to locate and post the railway physical map that I got that from when I next have some time to search archives. Glad you are interested…
Thanks, Nirmalan. Of course, there are many including myself who are interested in this sort of discourse – however, you must bring it to the public domain and give it maximum publicity in order for these ideas to gain traction.
Please share any ideas and suggestions that you may have in relation to the task of getting the developmental discourse into the “public domain” and when I use the word development I use it in its broadest sense…I think that there is an email included on the attached poster via which suggestions can be sent in and linkages forged…
This view superimposed with the planned metro regions, now megapolises, gives a clearer understanding of what is involved…the band around the island along the coast which is just about a meter above sea level is the area that is most vulnerable and one that we would do well to keep clear of permanent human habitation while dedicating it to commercial activities that can be evacuated with proper planning and preparedness in the event of coastal hazards and the inundation of which due to sea level rise can be prepared for and responded to effectively.
This may help…granted it may not be a simple plane…so I should speak of a higher average elevation rather than as a plateau which gives the impression of a continuous flat elevated plain forming a collar around the central massif.
There used to be an artists model (not to scale) of the island made of clay at the National Buildings Research Organization (NBRO) that gave the viewer a fairly good feel for what we have by way of geophysical morphology.
Thank you very much for your query which has made me aware that there is now room to move towards a more complex and detailed public articulation and discourse.
I guess which type of rail to be used will depend on the region, masses and government city plans (garden city) etc. the officials are looking at?
Will it be just the Colombo area while commuters travelling from out side continue to use existing rail services to enter the city of Colombo?
Regarding elevation; I don’t think will be much of an issue assuming the project is for the Col city only as Singapore City is only 8m above sea level. But then again which type of rail to use will depend on the above Gov vison/plan.
PS: Do we have an active City Planning body?
