PHUKET: Construction of the Phuket light-rail project will start in 2020 and be completed by ‘about 2023’, Phuket Vice Governor Thawornwat Kongkaew told a meeting of officials yesterday (Aug 29).

 

The startling revelation came at a meeting called by the Mass Rapid Transit Authority of Thailand (MRTA), which has been entrusted with the B39.4-billion project, in order to gain feedback from officials from across the island.

 

“The set up of the public-private venture required for the project is currently in the review stage. In 2020, the construction will start. Then the whole project will open for service in 2023, approximately,” V/Gov Thawornwat said.

I see the Patong tunnel coming nearer quickly on the fast lane ?

So they will build an entire 44km rail system, with both elevated and underground sectors, in less than the time it takes to build one short underpass?

I like the word " light-rail " meaning it will only stop at non-tourist destinations, instead of circumventing the whole Island. What a complete waste of time and money !
