Fun fact. Konkan Railway under the Vajpayee government developed the Skybus Metro, an indigenous suspended Monorail designed by B Rajaram.

Sadly, two engineers died in a test run. Instead of fixing it, the then Congress govt scrapped it, sold the patents and all. https://twitter.com/christoq/status/1262864658504941568">https://twitter.com/christoq/...

Here is a picture of the Skybus Metro (PC: Tom Worthington) at Madgaon Station in Goa.

Guess who was the most vocal opponent of the project? Rajaram& #39;s predecessor at Konkan Railway E Sreedharan, the man who oversaw the completion of India& #39;s ambitious railway project.

While most people credit Sreedharan with the Delhi Metro, I credit him for the Konkan Railway more than anything.

Yet, Sreedharan has opposed newer projects including the Skybus Metro and also .... *drumroll* ... the Mumbai-Ahmedabad High Speed Rail.

Do read my 2018 article on why Sreedharan was partly right and mostly wrong on the HSR.

Here are some pictures of the Skybus Metro.

Both are from a Money Life article written by Dr Rajaram.

Third is a picture of the station structure.
