JAKARTA - PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) or KAI will review the plan to extend the Jabodebek to Bogor LRT routes.

Preparations for the feasibility test are currently being prepared and targeted for completion by the end of the year.

Jabodebek LRT Executive Vice President Mochamad Purnomosidi said that actually the extension of the route was an old discourse that was being coordinated with related parties.

Starting from ministries/agencies to contractors.

"We are currently preparing a feasibility study and we are currently compiling discussions with several stakeholders such as Adhi Karya, the Ministry of Transportation, the Ministry of Economic Affairs, and Bappenas, we are currently in the process of the discussion stages," said Purnomosidi at the Jabodebek LRT Operations Two Years, Jakarta, Thursday, August 28.

Currently, continued Purnomosidi, his party is currently formulating the right scheme related to the extension of the route. For example, determining whether it is possible to do it driverless or without a driver.

In addition, Purnomosidi said he also coordinated funding. This is because the government recommends using the KPBU scheme and cooperation with the private sector.

"We are exerciseing to catch up with the KPBU, of course we have to prepare the feasibility study like what it is," said Purnomosidi.

Karena semua calon investor itu pasti mengharapkannya feasibility studynya. Adakah ini menguntung atau enggak, itu l nanti dilihat dari feasibility studynya," sambungnya.

Purnomosidi berharap, bisa melakukan studi kelayakan ini segera mungkin.

Bahkan, lanjut dia, ditargetkan bisa selesai akhir tahun ini untuk memastikan perpanjangan rute ini bisa dilaksanakan atau tidak.

“Harapannya adalah akhir tahun ini bisa selesai feasibility studynya, sehingga tawarkan itu feasibility studynya ke investor,” katanya.
