well I know that the LRT (Light Rail Transit) transportation system is not a new thing in the world of transportation. and I believe it sounds funny if I say that I really feel proud of the achievements of the engineers in our country while in other countries even made it decades ago😅. Even in Southeast Asia, Indonesia has lagged several years behind neighboring countries such as Thailand or Malaysia, which have previously spoiled their population with this transportation system..

Despite our lag, the successful creation of this LRT system by a state-owned company, is one of the first steps for Indonesia to catch up with other countries, especially countries in the Southeast Asian region.

The project for making the LRT system is one of our government's strategic projects. aims to reduce bad traffic jam that often occurs in major cities in my country. This transportation system is planned to connect 5 cities in Indonesia, which are cities that have high passenger mobility. the project is divided into 2 phases. in phase 1 the planned length of the route is 44 km and is targeted to be fully operational by the end of 2021 or at the latest in 2022. while the second phase is still in the planning level and the length of the route will reach 16 km. The Phase 1 LRT project will cost $ 903.6 million and will have 13 stations when finished.

the manufacturing of this transportation involves 2 companies owned by our country. the first one is PT Adhi Karya company, which is responsible for LRT construction. while for the train, done by PT INKA which is one of the largest and integrated train manufacturing companies in Southeast Asia so far...

The existence of this LRT transportation system will also complement other mass transportation systems that have existed in our country, namely the MRT (Mass Rappid Transit) which was also launched 2 years ago. it will also further reduce the traffic jams during peak hours that often occur in major cities in our country.
