PUTRAJAYA: The stalled Putrajaya Monorail project may be revived soon.

“We are now looking at how to revive this project and will reveal more details in the future. The study is almost ready,” said Putrajaya Corp (PPj) president Datuk Dr Aminuddin Hassim (pic).

He said there were plans to enhance the transportation system.

“We are looking at the cost factor and if it is reasonable to do it taking into consideration of the anticipated ridership.

“This is the administrative capital and the people are comfortable with the present transportation system.

"If we were to introduce another mode of transportation, we must make sure that it will truly benefit the people because it involves a huge investment," he said after the Putrajaya Tourism Photography contest prize giving ceremony on Tuesday (Oct 23).

Aminuddin also said the monorail would improve connectivity to locations within Putrajaya such as the Putrajaya International Convention Centre, Alamanda Putrajaya and Putra Mosque.

“There are also plans to extend the line to Bangi, Kajang and even Kuala Lumpur,” he said.

The RM400mil Putrajaya Monorail project hit a snag in 2004 after the government did not approve further funding.
