The Jakarta Light Rail Transit (Jakarta LRT) is a light rail transit system that currently is under construction in Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia. The light rail transit system is planned to connect Jakarta city centre with suburbans in Greater Jakarta such as Bekasi and Bogor. A groundbreaking ceremony was held on September 9, 2015, with the first phase of the construction will connect Cibubur in East Jakarta with Dukuh Atas in downtown Central Jakarta, passing through Cawang intersection. This phase will be 42.1 kilometers long, which include 18 stations, and expected to be opened to the public by the first half of 2018, prior of 2018 Asian Games. ==Background== The construction of Jakarta light rail transit was meant to ease the congestion of Jakarta's gridlock traffic. The current development of Jakarta's light rail transit system has its root in the cancelled monorail project; it was launched as the substitute to previously abandoned Jakarta Monorail project. The monorail project in Jakarta has been contemplated and planned in early 2000s. The construction started in 2004 but immediately stalled due to lack of funding. In 2005 initial pylons of support poles has been constructed, however the project was abandoned altogether in 2008, leaving the unfinished pylons blocked the roads. The monorail line design; loop Green line and Blue line, has gained criticism, as it only connects shopping malls in Jakarta's city center, and would not connect to Jakarta suburbans that desperately need transportation infrastructure; thus would not be useful for Jakartan commuters. Transportation experts deemed that the city center monorail project would not answer Jakarta's traffic problems, but would only serves as a novelty tourists' ride. To answer the commuting need, a consortium of five state owned enterprises, led by PT Adhi Karya (previously part of the ''Jakarta Monorail'' consortium), proposed to built a monorail line connecting Cibubur-Cawang-Kuningan and Bekasi-Cawang across Greater Jakarta.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Adhi Karya Bangun Monorel Cibubur-Cawang-Kuningan )〕 The line will connect the 'Green' and 'Blue' lines to be built by ''PT Jakarta Monorail'' to Jakarta's suburban in Cibubur and Bekasi. In 2013 the Jakarta monorail project was revived and relaunched. In mid 2014 however, the project was stalled after disagreement between ''PT Jakarta Monorel'' as the developer and operator with Jakarta Municipal Government over the land acquisition for the depot as well as the design of the station. The Jakarta municipal government refuses ''PT Jakarta Monorel'' proposal to built monorail depot over Setiabudi reservoir near Dukuh Atas and West Jakarta Flood Canal near Tanah Abang, arguing that the construction would harm the canal and dam structure. The design of grand elevated monorail stations is also raised some critical questions, since the supporting pylons will occupy public spaces; street, canal, pedestrian and public parks. The design of grand monorail stations and operator insistence on the right to lease the spaces in stations, also has sparked arguments over the suspicions that the operator is actually intends to build some new malls, shopping centres or office spaces over Jakarta's street in the guise of monorail stations. The Dukuh Atas monorail station for example is proposed to rose up to 10 storey building, with many of its spaces will be leased for commercial purpose. Following the disagreements, by 2015 the Jakarta Municipal Government terminated its contract with ''PT Jakarta Monorel''; thus monorail project was disbanded altogether. The numerous stalled monorail support poles will be used by state-owned construction company PT Adhi Karya to develop Jakarta's light rail transit instead.〔 The shift of choice from monorail to light rail transit (LRT) system was based on several considerations; compared to monorail, LRT has higher passenger capacity, simpler intersection and switching system, and cheaper maintenance cost. With common track gauge of , would made LRT easier to integrate with existing Commuterline and planned Jakarta MRT. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jakarta Light Rail Transit」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
