Ich hab gerade die Neuesten Infos gelesen:
Die Monorail ist bis auf weiteres geschlossen.
http://www.reviewjournal.com/lvrj_home/2004/Sep-10-Fri-2004/news/24735244.htmlHighlights:
The Las Vegas Monorail won't carry passengers anytime soon, and the rail
line's downtown extension is on hold until officials succeed in fixing
problems that have bedeviled the new rail line.......
One official suggested the testing of the system might require its
closure for weeks.
Gibson said the indefinite shutdown was tough to accept, but necessary.
"Since we recognize the public demands a safe system, we have no other
course."...........
"For a transit system to work, it has to be reliable and it has to be
safe. Until those concerns are dealt with, there is no downtown
extension," said Jacob Snow, general manager of the Regional
Transportation Commission.
Snow said the monorail system needs to demonstrate the most fundamental
traits of a transit system.
"I'd definitely start with no things falling out of the train at all,"
Snow said. "Until you see that type of reliable service you'd expect
with a transit system, you'll have more questions than answers." .......
While the line is down, it's losing an estimated $100,000 a day in
fares, and problems in keeping the line open is hardly reassuring to
bond buyers considering a purchase of Phase II bonds.
