A metro rail solution would be great (less of an eyesore and less weather prone), but costs a lot more to build than a monorail overground. Also, we are restricted by both space for entrances as well as the old British drainage and electricity infrastructure under our feet.

Metro system (under-ground) could cost up to 10 times more than a Monorail system. Secondly, a monorail could be a profitable 100% private sector investment. We do NOT want our corrupt governments and politics to have anything to do with this except in a few regulatory issues. Let’s see what happens.

we dont have money for underground network. hell the euro tunnel to ages to turn black. and they had money (invested own funds). we borrow to do this? will be like the harbor project – no payback.
its amazing how the powers that be who criticized the mega projects of the ex king are also following the same routes. get the feeling all are only concerned of the payback to them and theirs !!!

yeah rite!!!

if it is BOT no need for tenders becoz the builder will build operate and transfer.
tender process comes in becoz we have to be aware of the cost. becoz we will have to bear some of the cost, and we will certainly have to maintain it once it is transferred.

JICA BOT’d the Jayaewardenapura Hospital and MRI in Borella. there was no tender process. it was a govt to govt transaction. SL did not spend until the projects were transferred.

can u quote the line or words in this article that says the project is a BOT? DUH
