For the present level of traffic (about 11-12 million per year or about 30–35,000 per day), a rail based system may not be urgent, but traffic volumes are bound to grow, & hence the need to work out possible options in due time.

Metrail & Skybus
Santsub - thanks for the inputs.
Metrail technology (with hybrid power - battery + solar) is untested in service - not even in theme parks, let alone commercial use. Hence, the state govt has not considered it for the city's needs yet, though this seems very promising for the future.
Also, an Indian co. is manufacturing skybus, which is a bus suspended & run on overhead elevated tracks (well above the road/s) - this too is untested, & therefore may not have takers, since a large no. of lives are involved.
Skybus
thanks naveen - I guess Hyderabad was considering Skybus option - not that I am suggesting this. This Indian baby from a scientist in Goa has received a lot of international coverage too. I agree with you govt. will not take chances on something that is not tested but my take is some one has to implement it somewhere to test it. If they can prove it then I guess it becomes a viable option.
Mono Vs Metrail
I think govt should consider the option of implementing the Metrail which is very ecofriendly and is very versatile. It can turn at very sharp curvatures thus making it easy to map a route without much of land aquisitions. www.metrail.com Guess what its low cost too... than metro or perhaps mono too.
