Given that the Corporation's study conclusions are based mainly on the engineering and financial viability of the various links, Government has to consider the alternatives
proposed in the light of overall transport infrastructure and development strategy, as explained in April 1987 to the le corporation. Evaluation is now being done in the context of
the Second Comprehensive Transport Study which examines all relevant factors, including the present and future travel patterns, benefits to the community, distribution of existing development, the potential for development along various alignments, the strategic transport network and related social aspects. Progress has been satisfactory so far and we hope to
receive preliminary results in August this year.

whether any extension of the LRT to the urban area will be
