[sustran] Re: Underground monorail from Phuket to Antarctica announced

[Carlos F. Pardo SUTP]

It's very funny to see that Patong or Phuket spends money on these
ridiculous plans to go to Antarctica, when they haven't even solved their
paratransit problem of tuk-tuk mafia. They are the sole means of
transportation for people who do not own cars, since bus transit has been
banned from one Phuket beach to the other. Maybe the underground monorail to
Antarctica will have extensions inside the island?

(I-Newswire) - The much talked about plans for an underground monorail from
Patong to Antarctica have been fully announced today says Khun Chocktip,
Thailand Initiative for Tourism (TIT) President. After several years of
feasibility studies a final conclusion of whether to consider the proposal
or not will now finally be decided by the year 2012.

 

Khun Chocktip explained, "Normally these types of proposals take decades to
come to fruition but we have done it in less than ten years. The speed of
these feasibility studies puts other parts of the country to shame. The
underground monorail to Antarctica has so much potential and even though it
will never happen as it is not physically possible we should all be proud of
our highly paid feasibility consultants, they offer us such value for
money!" As usual the Patong Times refrains from commenting on political
matters, especially those that involve large sums of money being spent on
consultants.
