Realizing The Ideal Mass Rapid Transport for Jakarta Citizens




(Jakarta MRT’s Logo)

Are you citizens of the Jakarta? Whether you are migrants citizens from cities around Jakarta who work or activity in Jakarta? If so, you must have been familiar with the traffic problems of the capital that is increasingly complicated. Many road users to use their personal vehicles as a reliable means of transportation to take them from one place to another in Jakarta. However, the increasing number of private motorcycle and car users actually further aggravate congestion. Discomfort, the number of transport fleets are still few, and transportation have not been integrated in every place makes mass transportation in Jakarta is still not able to attract the people switches to using transportation that has been provided by the government.
Because of it makes the government of Jakarta thinking to maximize mass transit friendly and easy to use by citizens of Jakarta and the migrants citizens from the cities that were around Jakarta, such as Tangerang, Depok, Bogor, and Bekasi. Jakarta currently has a form of mass transportation like Trans Jakarta or Busway and rail-based transportation (KRL Commuterline) which is sufficient to connect various places in Jakarta with other cities. However, this is still not sufficient modes of transport for people who have a higher degree of mobility from year to year. Therefore, recently appeared some government plans to build a facility that is integrated with the previous mass transportation.
Currently the construction of rail-based transportation are Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) has been running as an answer to the needs of the community will be the mode of transportation convenient and reliable. Later, Jakarta MRT will consist of two corridors, namely the North - South corridor that stretches along approximately ± 23.8 kilometers from Lebak Bulus to Kampung Bandan and the East - West corridor that stretches along approximately ± 87 kilometers. So that the overall length of the MRT rail is approximately ± 110.8 kilometers. Development of South - North corridor from Lebak Bulus to Kampung Bandan in two phases, where first phase is constructed connecting lines between Lebak Bulus to the roundabout HI along 15.7 kilometers with 13 stations (7 elevated stations and 6 underground stations) and is targeted to begin to operate in 2018. As for the second phase followed by making the North - South line from the roundabout HI to Kampung Bandan along the 8.1 kilometers which will begin construction before the first phase of operation and is targeted to operate 2020. For the corridor East - West is currently in the feasibility study stage and targeted slowest operations in 2024 - 2027 next. In addition, the government is also planning the construction of the Light Rail Transit (LRT) seven corridors where two corridors, namely corridors 1 (Kebayoran Lama-Kelapa Gading) and corridor 7 (Kelapa Gading-Kemayoran-Pesing-Soekarno-Hatta), will begin to be worked on 2015's.
Is this the government's plan will reduce congestion in Jakarta? Let's wait until the MRT and LRT begin operating later. (Rifky)
