SMRT a partner in Jakarta monorail project: "Indonesia's capital is reviving plans for a monorail to help ease traffic and has made SMRT, Singapore's main MRT operator, one of its partners for the project.
PT Jakarta Monorail, which was awarded the 8 trillion rupiah (S$1.04 billion) contract last week, yesterday signed a partnership agreement at Jakarta's City Hall with SMRT and six other companies.
"A project like Singapore's MRT is our shared dream, in particular that of governor Joko Widodo," Jakarta Monorail director, Ms Sukmawaty Syukur, said at the signing ceremony.
Mr Widodo visited Singapore three months ago and met officials to learn about the country's experiences in public transport planning and management. Yesterday, he told reporters: "This collaboration represents the aspirations of our people to see Jakarta become like major world cities.""
