Pattaya City gets ready to erect new monorail linePattaya City is looking forward to welcoming a new monorail line which, according to the results of a recent study, would be an ideal mechanism to improve the coastal city's public transport system and contribute greatly to its economic development. Called the Red Line, the new monorail system will comprise ten stations and stretch 17.37 kilometres, according to a feasibility study conducted on the new monorail presented at Tuesday's public hearing, the second such hearing on the new project. A large number of local business owners with a keen interest in the new line also attended to offer feedback. Each station on the line is designed to be about 1km from the next, said the study. The most suitable format of investment selected for this project is the public private partnership (PPP) one, said the study.
