Bangalore Monorail

October 29, 2010 by Raggi Mudde

The Monorail is finally turning into reality after many ayes and nays. It would be implemented in two phases with an estimated length of 60 Kms. The cost is estimated at Rs 140 crore per Km, taking the total cost of the project to around Rs 8,400 crores.

Many felt Bangalore should have gone for Mono rail instead of Metro. To please every government decided to go with metro and mono rail. We call this democracy.

Monorail is very expensive and the return on investment [ROI] is very low. Mono Rail system costs Rs 120 crore per km, against Metro Rail’s Rs 75 crore per km. Metro Rail had a capacity to carry 45,000-50,000 passengers per hour, while Mono Rail can carry only 10,000-12,000 passengers per hour.

Monorail Corridors

  • Hebbal to JP Nagar – 34 Kms
  • Peripheral Ring Road (PRR) to toll gate along Magadi Road – 9 Kms
  • Kathriguppe road to National College – 5 Kms
  • Hosur road to Bannerghatta – 15 Kms
