[sustran] Operational costs for monorails

[Dal Maluf]

Dear friends,
 
Some Brazilian cities were approached by international consultants trying to sell monorails for the World Cup and Olympic Games. Most of these projects were already abandoned as costs have skyrocket with the developments of these projects. However, there are new Governors elected and around the country and some of them decided to study these possibilities again… New guys, new projects... I guess you all known that process...
 
Does anyone have technical information or papers dealing with financial data for monorails operational and maintenance? 
 
Thank you very much,
