For those of you who are not already aware, a monorail is being built
in Daegu, South Korea that is similar to the system that Cascadia
proposed for Seattle. The line is 24 km (14.9 miles) long and will
feature 3-car versions of the Hitachi trains that Cascadia had proposed
for Seattle. The cost is quoted as $333 million USD; however, I suspect
that this is just the cost for Hitachi's portion of the project. A
couple of articles on the system can be found at the following links:
