The system is 105 km, 143 stations. The vendor is ULTra, the private developer is Fairwood Holdings, an infrastructure company that partnered with ULTra on the smaller Amritsar system under construction. Three phases will be built at the same time, to be completed in 2.5 years.
Fares are set to be INR 6/km or 0.11 CAD/km, and the expected ridership is expected to be 623,000 daily.

I don't know about you guys, but this is a huge deal. This system, if it gets off the ground, will prove beyond the doubt of any naysayer that PRT works in complex urban environments. And an entirely privately financed system that sells transport for 11 cents/km is going to be a very disruptive model.
