According to reports, the Greater Jakarta LRT program will have three tracks and a 44 km range. Greater Jakarta, also known as Jabodetabek, is a sizable urban area that includes Bekasi, Bogor, Depok, and Jakarta. & nbsp,
The Greater Jakarta LRT system’s opening should not be rushed to the public, according to Mr. Widodok, also known as Jokowi, who told the Jakarta Post on Thursday. Safety has come first, he said in a statement. & nbsp,
The LRT program is Indonesia’s first completely domestic infrastructure project, so he added that it is appropriate if there are some initial issues with its operation. & nbsp,
Don’t assume the procedure to be flawless; we made everything. The Jakarta Post cited him as saying in the speech,” But, if there are any shortcomings, we should understand.”
He claimed that while Adhi Karya, a state-owned company, completed the construction, the trains were locally produced by the government manufacturer INKA.
Jokowi also promised that any issues would be resolved, particularly those pertaining to health. & nbsp,
However, Mr. Budi claimed that the government had used knowledgeable professionals and adhered to the necessary standards when creating the LRT.
The project’s design and construction have even received approval from the Public Works and Housing Ministry, he continued.
Aditya Dwi Laksana, chairperson of the Indonesia Transportation Society ( MTI ) Railway and Intercity Transportation Forum, stated on Thursday that the Greater Jakarta LRT’s operational delay is not a problem. & nbsp,
Instead of rushing to catch up with Indonesia’s freedom time celebration on August 17, the day before the LRT was supposed to be launched, he said that the health and smooth functioning of the RRT must be given top priority. & nbsp,
In addition to numerous previous difficulties, this start has been postponed. The Jakarta Post reported that the LRT’s initial launch date was last year, followed by June of this year. & nbsp,
Later, the brief open test run was moved up to August 5. After being suspended to make program improvements and correct system bugs, & nbsp, it was initially intended to begin on July 29.
Kompas and other local media outlets claimed that a number of issues ultimately led to the LRT start being rescheduled. A gate design flaw connecting the LRT track is one of the issues.
Deputy State – Owned Enterprises ( SOE ) Minister Kartika Wirjoatmodjo revealed this problem on Monday in a YouTube video that was unintentionally broadcast. Mr. Kartika claimed in the Jakarta Post that the gate connecting Gatot Subroto Street and the LRT record in Kuningan is poorly constructed.
He asserted that the track was worryingly thin because Adhi Karya had constructed the bridge without considering the trains’ turning angles.
” The coach can only move at a maximum speed of 20 kilometers per hour when passing the gate. He added that there had been miscommunications between the development firm and other concerned companies and that the train could change at a faster speed if the bridge was built wider. & nbsp,
