[Awesome]

That's awesome - is it a Maglev?

Also what's with the pink? Other than barbie theme, its an excellent achievement. The stations need to look a bit more pro, Dubai-like.

@2nd pic

WOW.. You can see the divide between rich & poor in India, on that pic...
Slums in the background and multi million dollar railline on top...
Great pics BTW

Yep! I noticed that too! I think the slum board must shake a leg and get cracking. At present they're sitting on their a$$es doing nothing for a living! Bloody politicians who don't want to stir the pot due to the slummers vote banks and the impotent incompetent babus and bureaucrats who earn fat pay packets for doing fook-all!!

Fares
The minimum fare on Line 1, will be 11 and maximum will be 30.[21]

Noise
According to studies conducted by the Mumbai Regional Development Authority (MMRDA) during the monorail trial run, it was found that the monorail produces between 65 - 85 decibels of noise, significantly lower than the 95 decibel noise level of a BEST Bus.

Speed
The monorail will have a top speed of 80 kilometres per hour (50 mph), an average speed of 65 kilometres per hour (40 mph)[5] and the overall speed including dwell time at stations would be around 31 kilometres per hour (19 mph)

@karan21
Mumbai has a BRTS?

They dont have a planned BRT but they do have an extensive bus service system. Plans are on to have some soon.

I meant *feel.

I know, but the 2nd pic was a perfect example of rich & poor divide in India. I know that, but the monorail is what I was aiming at. A multi million dollar rail-line along a slum which doesn't even have proper sewage system.

This is the face of India.

Relax friend. This is the face of all South Asian countries including Pakistan. China too, who call themselves a Supah dupah world power. Here you can see the divide between the rich communists and the poor peasants...

The glittering towers of the Chinese city of Shenzhen
look down on the humble squatter communities.

So what you're seeing in Mumbai isn't an exception and nothing for you to dance about!!

I dont know why China and Pakistan are mentioned... Grow up, please.

India is building a sh#t load of metros and monorails across India.

And a lot are proposed as well.

I cant wait to see Kochi metro work start soon!!!!

Does any company in India has plans to make monorails??
i know 2 companies that make metro rolling stock in India: bombardier and BEML. Alstoms factory will also be opened soon to produce metro trains. Monorails are the next big thing, we need to start manufacturing them too.
