	Kuala Lumpur Monorail - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was built for RM1.18 billion by KL Infrastructure Group Berhad (KL Infra) that holds a 40-year concession to operate the monorail.
		Prior to the opening of the KL Monorail an accident occurred involving a safety wheel from a train falling off and hitting a pedestrian walking under the monorail viaduct.

		The total Kuala Lumpur LRT network is a multi-billion Ringgit project that uses modern, electrically-powered trains operating on double tracks to offer a reliable and comfortable alternative by bus, taxi and car within Kuala Lumpur's urban area.
		A more ambitious project is KL Sentral, which would serve as the hub for LRT and monorail services as well as the KTM Komuter, a fast train already operating from stations in the city to Rawang in the north, Port Klang in the southwest and Seremban in the south.
		The KL Monorail is designed to complement and integrate with the existing and planned urban transportation systems for Kuala Lumpur.

	Monorail Capital Costs: Reality Check
		The Kuala Lumpur line will extend 8.6 km (5.3 miles), with 11 elevated stations, and the project is reported to have a budgeted cost of RM 1.18 billion (about $310.5 million in year-2002 US dollars), calculating to a cost of about $58.2 million per mile.
		In regard to monorail systems, it can be seen that, with an average capital cost of nearly $140 million per mile, and with some individual systems exceeding $200 million per mile, these examples of monorail systems do not seem to corroborate the low-cost claims of many monorail promoters.
		For example, monorail switches appear to entail more complicated machinery, and have a significantly higher cost – about 15 times the cost of an ordinary railway switch, according to a recent study.

		The length of Monorail corridor in Putra Jaya is 13.2 kilometers with 18 stations.
