KUCHING: Sarawak may use a “railless” train system for its proposed light rail transit (LRT) project as it involves lower costs, says Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg.

The Chief Minister said new technology was now available whereby trains could run without rails.“It’s a road system with a track. A device that is placed at the driver’s seat will read the track and the train will follow it without rails.
