The Putrajaya monorail project that has been abandoned since 2004 is no longer viable to continue based on the condition of the existing rail infrastructure, including the long-abandoned underground tunnel, according to the transport ministry in a written statement, reported Bernama.
The findings were obtained through the Public Transport Study in Putrajaya, Cyberjaya, Bangi and Kajang, which also assessed the feasibility of the monorail system, according to the report.
“It requires further detailed studies such as structural integrity tests to identify the actual condition of the long-abandoned structure,” the transport ministry wrote in response to a question by Senator Datuk Mohammad Redzuan Othman, who asked if the ministry planned to resume the abandoned Putrajaya monorail project by expanding its network to solve the problem of traffic congestion.
As an alternative, the Nadi Putra Bus service currently runs seven routes with 26 buses, and averages 2,246 passengers on weekdays, the transport ministry said.
The shuttle bus service includes two routes with eight buses and an average of 1,173 passengers, while the Rapid On-Demand service involves three routes with nine vans and an average of 315 passengers on weekdays, it said.
“The provision of these services aims to improve the accessibility and connectivity of public transport in Putrajaya through more flexible and comprehensive mobility solutions,” the transport ministry said.
giving them money to do business is like throwing money away into the sea. better close down all of their loss-making companies which cost the taxpayer uncounted billions in bailouts , including – Felda, MalaysiaAirlines, SapuraKencana, TH, Boustead, FashionValet, 1MDB , Proton, and so many others.

Apa lagi PPj start to think out of the box la what to do with the abandoned infrastructure. Commercialized.
Well of course la how many people in Putrajaya that justify that cost but syok also.
This for 22 years and the electric holotrail train thingy 2 years ago, none of them have news ever since. est management
wide roads with no traffic jam around Putrajaya and low population density, there is no need for mass rapid public transport.
Putrajaya and Cyberjaya need more parking spaces. Public transport is a not viable option. It’s way cheaper to build 5 storey parking lots next/near to ministrial buildings than any public oriented transit running on yearly losses.
