NEW DELHI: You may soon take your office along while travelling in a train. Railways plan to make popular trains like Shatabdi and Rajdhani Wi-Fi enabled. Railways have already started making its stations Wi-Fi enabled. “The trains linking metros would be made Wi-Fi enabled in the first phase. This would help executives to utilise their travel time in a productive way.

BANGALORE: Railways has decided to introduce alluminium coaches for goods trains as they have much better carrying capacity and bring down operational costs by 40 per cent, Railway Minister Lalu Prasad said on Monday. Prasad said alluminium coaches would bring down the fuel bill as compared to the steel ones currently being used for goods trains. The Minister said the Railway budget, to be presented in Parliament on February 26, would be a "common man's budget". "We will give special attention to the needs of students, farmers and workers", Prasad said after flagging off extension of Ajmer-Bangalore-Ajmer Express up to Mysore, and inaugurating a model station at Yeshwantpur here. He said Railways would also focus more on increasing the number of general coaches and comfort level of passengers using them. - Economic Times

I'm doing a project for for a friend and I was wondering if there is an average $/ft cost to putting in a small monorail system ( i.e. 3 cars, short run) and can they handle elevation, such as a ski lift type thing. I'm just looking for round numbers as this is a theoretical business excercise.
