Metro Express (Mauritius)
The Metro Express is a light rail public transport system in Mauritius. The route runs between the capital Port Louis in the district of the same name and the cities of the Plaines Wilhems District with an additional branch, running between the city of Rose Hill and the University of Mauritius at Réduit. History Mauritius had been without a railway system following the closure of Mauritius Government Railways in the 1950s. The last passenger train ran on 31 March 1956, between Port Louis and Curepipe. Due to increased car usage and chronic road congestion, plans for a light railway system had been proposed for many years. The idea of introducing Light Rail Transit was first floated in the 1970s and started being developed in the 1980s as a way to solve increasing road congestion. The idea only started gaining traction in 1995, when the concept of light rail was formulated. The main argument against it was the cost of the system construction. The investment was made in the dev ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Asia
Asia ( , ) is the largest continent in the world by both land area and population. It covers an area of more than 44 million square kilometres, about 30% of Earth's total land area and 8% of Earth's total surface area. The continent, which has long been home to the majority of the human population, was the site of many of the first civilisations.

A commonly accepted division places Asia to the east of the Suez Canal separating it from Africa; and to the east of the Turkish straits, the Ural Mountains an ...
