Sri Lanka, July 9 -- The Light Rail Transit (LRT) project is not likely to see the light of the day, Minister of Transport Bimal Ratnayake hinted in Parliament today.

"We have carried out a study on it and it seems that the light train project is not viable, considering its cost and the limited number of commuters who would use it. We have decided it is not viable because of these facts," the Minister said.

The Minister said alternative projects such as tge metro bus project are looked at as it is found to be more economically viable.
