Guaranteed MRT Will not stagnate like Monorail


Project Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) is believed to not be stagnant like Monerel currently dormant. For both these projects have a very fundamental difference.

Differences are mainly on the concept of development. "The MRT project G to G. This means that government to government between the Government of Indonesia to Japan. The project is funded by Japan and pendanaanya already there," said President Director of PT MRT Jakarta Tribudi Rahardjo.

Tribudi said the MRT project is already initiated since 1985. But only realized in 2005. "This project was not run due to financial problems. Now was there a commitment from Japan, can walk. Moreover, Vice President (Boediono,) requesting accelerated," said Tribudi.

So, said Tribudi, despite changes of government or the transfer of capital, even if the project was still road. "It's already committed G to G. All of the schedule will be operational 2016," he said.
