Bombardier Transportation- During testing and commissioning, the monorail suffered several malfunctions that delayed the start of passenger service for almost a year
- The most serious of these problems related to parts falling from the monorail to the ground under the tracks.
- On September 8, 2004, more problems with falling parts led to the closing of the monorail for nearly four months.
- On February 2, 2005, the monorail system had to be shut down again due to problems with the electrical system.
