PT MRT Jakarta (Perseroda) revealed that the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) Phase 3 project will be groundbreaking in August 2024. MRT Jakarta Phase 3 is an East-West corridor which is planned to stretch 84.1 km from Cikarang, West Java, to Balaraja, Banten.
The project consists of 2 phases, including phase 1 (Kembangan – Medan Satria) and phase 2 (Kembangan – Balaraja dan Medan Satria – Cikarang). Asian Development Bank (ADB) was reported to join Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) to fund the project.
On the other hand, PT Kereta Cepat Indonesia China (KCIC) expressed their readiness if the government appoints them to become the operator of Jakarta-Surabaya high-speed train. The high-speed train is estimated to travel at a speed of 200 – 250 km per hour and the travel time of only about 3.5 hours for a distance of 720 km. The feasibility study will later be conducted by Indonesia and China.
