![]() The transport system aims to carry 170 000 passengers per day for 0.96USD or less a trip. The line includes seven elevated and six underground stations and is expected to take less than 30 minutes. The first stage of the project was built by two consortia of local and Japanese companies and was officially opened on the 24th of March 2019. The Jakarta Mass Rapid Transit is the first underground railway system in Indonesia and the first phase of the project connects 13 stations over 16 km from the south of the city to the business district. It was not until 2013, when President Joko Widodi, then the Jakarta governor, secured funding and approval for the Jakarta MRT, that the construction finally began in October 2013. However, due to political crises, red tape and funding disagreements, its construction was constantly delayed. As part of the effort to tackle the traffic jams in Jakarta, Mass Rapid Transit plans have been considered since as far back as the 1980s. ![]()
