Port Harcourt and its metropolitan area counts actually 3.7 Mio citizens and is characterised by oil production and its associated industries. The rapidly increasing traffic in the city regularly leads to congested roads. Therefore city-planners were looking for a fast implementation of an efficient mass transit system. Rivers Monorail will be using Intamin’s monorail train type P30, an electric driven train especially designed and most suitable for public transport services in cities. The train is characterized by an innovative design, spacious cabins and is equipped with large size door openings for easy access for passengers with luggage. The modern design of the trains combined with a seamless appearance of the track system integrates the system excellently into the environment. The system covers approx. twenty kilometres within the city of Port Harcourt, serving 14 stations between Aggrey Rd. and the loop North/East of the Garrison station. The train guiding system combined with a sophisticated automatic train protection and guiding solution, allows for optimisation of line performance while improving the safety of operation with trains at a speed of up to 80km/h. The train operation is monitored by staff in the Operation Control Centre. The monorail project is part of the city’s and River State infrastructural investments to improve the traffic situation.
