MELAKA, MALAYSIA
proposed melaka monorail
2012
Monosist leads a group of consultants to carry out a Preliminary Engineering Study for the proposed implementation of monorail system in Malacca.
The proposal involved an 11.4 km corridor running from Alor Gajah to Melaka Hilir via Bukit Katil. The alignment runs mostly on the road median with elevated stations spanning across both sides of the thoroughfare. The project, once completed will provide direct access to the city center cutting short the normal on-road travel time from 2 hours (at peak time) to about 30 minutes.
The station is designed to cater to the initial operation of a 2-car train with a passenger capacity of approximately 2000 pphpd.
This will later be expanded as demand increases. Monorail is the ideal system to be implemented due to its flexibility to maneuver in tight urban geometry.
