The Goa Skybus, a project intended to prove the feasibility of a novel mass transit system, is set for a crucial test-run. The project undertaken by the Konkan Railway Corporation Ltd (KRCL), will be operational on an 1.6-km-long track next month. The test track has been laid on a concrete bridge in Margao; electrically-driven coaches of the Skybus will run along its entire length. Built at a cost of Rs 50 crore, the system has been put up in five months despite delay in construction caused by heavy rains.
