A monorail system more likely in Kathmandu than metro train: KMC

 

Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC) granted permit to conduct a feasibility study on construction of a monorail system in the Valley.

Monorail would be a good transit application for Nepal due to the mode's ability to traverse hostile terrain.  I am assuming that engineers will take into consideration high winds and heavy snows that are common in this mountainous country.

Fate of Valley’s monorail project in limbo

 

Preparation of the detailed project report (DPR) of the much-hyped Kathmandu Monorail Project has been delayed following a spat between Investment Board of Nepal (IBN) and Kathmandu Monorail Company (KMC) over a few provisions in the draft of memorandum of understanding (MoU) of the project.
