Minister of Transportation Budi Karya Sumadi said the construction of the autonomous train or Autonomous Rail Transit (ART) in the capital city of Nusantara (IKN) went according to the government's plan.
Budi ensured that the construction went smoothly after reviewing the construction site for the autonomous train or ART at IKN, Penajam Paser Utara, East Kalimantan, yesterday.
"I see the construction going according to plan," Budi said in an official statement, Friday, March 1.
Furthermore, Budi said that the use of ART in IKN is a leap in the use of future transportation technology, namely railless trains.
Budi also explained that ART will be operated using batteries that are substituted with road and magnetic markings. Later, the train will be in the East National Axim area and the West National Axis, where the stages of the construction of the route will be carried out in two phases.
"A set of ARTs consists of two carriages, with a total passenger capacity of 324 people. The operational speed is 40 km per hour and a maximum of 70 km per hour," said Budi.
Regarding the route, the Minister of Transportation said that the length of the construction of the first phase of the ART line was less than 1.2 km, while the length of the construction of the second phase of the route was less than 5.2 km.
"When operating later, the ART lane and bus stop will share with Bus Rapid Transit (BRT)," he said.
Autonomous Trains Can Be Used In August 2024
Previously, the Minister of Transportation (Menhub) Budi Karya Sumadi targeted that some of the high-end rail routes or Automated Rail Transit (ART) at IKN, East Kalimantan could operate in August this year.
This was conveyed by Budi after reviewing the location for the construction of the Automated Rail Transit (ART) at IKN on Wednesday, January 24.
