The monorail project was expected to cost 135 million Euros for 12 km and three stations.

The government is in the process of finalising another monorail project in Johor.

The proposed monorail project will take one year to be completed, and will provide over 15,000 jobs during the construction.

The state government has submitted the proposal for the monorail project to the central government and is awaiting approval.

From 1997 to 2005 the monorail project was a highly contentious political issue in the Seattle area.

The monorail project ultimately cost Seattle taxpayers $124.7 million.

Residents of other Queens neighborhoods have had their own concerns about the monorail project, though the need for better airport access is universally acknowledged.
