well.....there have been plans for a transit / metro system for Penang for decades but not until recently only it is feasible as the island is already choking to its seems.

Furthermore the cost (which had been the main problem) had gone down as the system would be a local one.

I believe this is a good progress that they've already selected a system so the likelyhood of it being built is much much higher now!

Furthermore this project I dun think would be delay because the contractor and the system is by MMC - very rich company!

Anyway 37km is pretty long .......as in comparison to Putraline which is just 28km, Starline is 27km and KL Monorail which is just 8.6km......
i want it NOW!! a year later asso cannot, old liao he he...

if want now i think i'll go to KL

Metrail for Penang! (10/21/03)
Penang, Malaysia. Barely a month since we brought you news about Metrail, a new hybrid monorail system with a test track outside Kuala Lumpur, one of the two major partners developing the system has announced that they have been selected to build a monorail system for Penang, Malaysia. According to sources close to the deal, MMC Engineering has a "letter of exclusivity from the government" for a 1.1 billion ringit ($289 million) monorail. MMC and its United Kingdom partner, Frazer-Nash, will start building a starter line sometime early next year. The monorail system is self-propelled and doesn't have the necessity for a power source on the guideway. Penang is Malaysia's key manufacturing hub. The monorail plan calls for a 37 km (23 mile) system.

It appears there are 2 routes.. Route 1 from Tg Tokong - airport, and Route 2 connecting Komtar - Bandar Baru Air Itam - Paya Terubong crossing route 1 at Air Itam interchange. So, if you want to travel from Tg Bungah to Komtar, looks like you'll have to take the monorail from Tg Tokong to Air Itam (next to MBS) and change to another train to Komtar.. no direct link through Burmah Rd.. wonder if it'll be longer than taking the bus...
