Last passenger train ran on 31 March 1956 between Port Louis and Curepipe. Due to increased car usage and chronic road congestion, plans for a light railway system have been proposed over many years. The idea of introducing Light Rail Transit was first floated in the 1970s and started being developed in the 1980s as a way to solve increasing road congestion. The idea only started gaining track in 1995, when a concept of light rail was formulated. The main argument against it was based on the cost of the system construction. The investment was made in the development of road infrastructure instead, like building new roads and adding new lanes to existing motorways. Busways were considered but weren't implemented. In 2010, during the visit to Singapore, the Prime Minister of Mauritius Navin Ramgoolam signed an intergovernmental agreement, under which the Singapore Cooperative Enterprise, would assist Mauritius in preparing a request for proposal document to be launched to potential developers.
