I can imagine the discussion. How much money can we make out of a monorail system.

I just read about the expansion of BKK airport the other day.  Evidently they began work about a year ago on adding 28 more gates on the other side of the current runways, I hadn't noticed as my flights arrive and depart at night.  The article said that this expansion could handle another 15M paxs a year.
