The Jakarta Mass Rapid Transit (Jakarta MRT) is a rapid transit system that currently is under construction in Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia. A groundbreaking ceremony was held on October 10, 2013, with Phase 1 of the project (Lebak Bulus to Hotel Indonesia Roundabout) to be opened to the public by the first quarter of 2018.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Jokowi leads MRT ground-breaking ceremony )〕 == Background == Jakarta is the capital city of Indonesia, harboring over 9 million inhabitants. It is predicted that over four million residents of the surrounding Jabodetabek area commute to and from the city each working day. Transport issues have increasingly begun to attract political attention and it has been foreseen that without a major transportation breakthrough, congestions will overwhelm the city into a complete traffic gridlock by 2020.〔()〕 Since 1980 more than twenty-five general and special subject studies have been conducted related to possible Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) systems in Jakarta. One of the major reasons for the delays in tackling the problem was the economic and political crises of 1997-99. Before the crisis, a Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) scheme was considered as part of a new MRT calling for private sector involvement. After the crisis, the plan to rely on a BOT to provide financing proved unfeasible and the MRT project was again proposed as a government-funded scheme. The current public transportation in Jakarta serves only 56% of trips made by commuters daily.〔https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/content/dsd/susdevtopics/sdt_pdfs/meetings2010/egm0310/presentation_Rini.pdf〕 This figure urgently needs to be raised as the city's 9.5% average annual growth rate of motorized vehicle far exceeds the 0.01% increase in road length between 2005 and 2010. Public transportation now mainly consists of various types of buses, starting from the very small bemo and pickup sized mikrolet, to slightly larger minibuses such as the widely used MetroMini and Kopaja minibuses, and full sized city buses, the TransJakarta bus rapid transit system. There are also both two and four wheeled taxis and the Jabodetabek Commuter Railway system. 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 Mass Rapid Transit」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
