The monorail system in Putrajaya is expected to be complete before 2025, said federal territories minister Khalid bin Abdul Samad. The monorail project was one of the government’s main focal points for upgrading the transportation system in the administrative capital, as well as to attract more visitors to the area, the minister was quoted as saying in a Bernama report.
“After 25 years, one of the unfinished development projects in Putrajaya is the monorail project so we are focusing on reviving the project as the infrastructure including the bridge and tunnel have been left hanging,” Khalid said. A new line will be included in the project following discussions with the transport ministry, he said.
The project will ‘stick to the original plan’ but the line will be connected to Kajang, Bangi and Cyberjaya, and it will be integrated with the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) project, the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) system and the Kuala Lumpur High Speed Rail (HSR), the federal territories minister noted.
The monorail construction project, including the request for proposal (RFP) process is to be initiated by the transport ministry as the project would extend into Cyberjaya, Kajang and Bangi, the latter under the jurisdiction of the Selangor state government, Khalid said.
Shelved in 2004 due to budget constraints, a proposal was tabled to the Economic Council in 2016, which initially was estimated to see completion in 2021 if it was approved. The MRT Sungai Buloh-Serdang-Putrajaya line is expected to be complete in 2022, though MRT Corp had been tasked to reduce costs by 24%.
Better living for us Putrajaya folks. With god grace, current govt success till 2025 and beyond!
This looks like a project to enrich cronies. Better for them to improve the current pathetic bus system.
Meanwhile KL Monorel issues are still not settled. Once again crony wins in Pakatan government.
Completely agreed. Every time during peak hours the same 2-car set KL monorail train come with peoples packed like sardin inside. Many times can’t even push in and got to wait up to 10-15 mins for the next 1. Worst there is no timetable, this is like 30 years old train system.
I live in putrajaya but i think better upgrade the bus system than build monorail. Add the buses frequency and improve to electric. Putrajaya is huge with big roads so to sacrifice it with this monorail is such a waste. To connect putrajaya to other cities we will have mrt station here soon
Once and for all. gotta increased car prices to improve public ridership… Save our environment.
Contoh. Saga & bezza, 35k 》80k.
Myvi & persona, 50k 》100k
Vios & city, 75k 》150K.
Maybe electric bus. Or trams built by same manufacturer crcc zhouzhou that supplies to ktm.it uses super capacitor so no need for wires built
Electric busses available on the world market are from China only. Customers in Sweden n Germany found out that battery electric busses are three times more expensive to run than diesel busses.
Additionally, foreign customers wont buy a system that is not used in its homeland.
In china they are using supar capacitors already. Charging is very quick unlike batteries.
Finally all the abang abang will have the oppurtunity to come out of Putrajaya easily. Currently all stuck so they end up pro creating.
Now, at least they can come out easily
If you want politics then go to other website idiot.. what a racist statement.
Public transport I support lor. At least the likes of MRT/LRT/Monorail etc has less chance of screwing up, and more likely used by the people instead.
The train provided by Scomi or different? Dunno how did Scomi managed to eff up existing Monorail. At least, KTMB is undergoing KVDT project so massive delays are expected.
Hopefully la LRT3/MRT2/MRT3 they don’t shelf the upgradability of the amount of cars just for the sake of cost cutting. You can always provision the stations for more train cars beforehand, than to renovate all the stations later when 4 cars proved to be insufficient.
Syukur x100. Putrajaya got super nice monorail oredi. I wonder if our ministers and the gang will ride and support monorail or not…..
putrajaya itself shouldn’t have been built in the first place
Project for atuk95 son who recently bought over scomi’s share.
