JAKARTA (Vietnam News/ANN): The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is in talks to help finance up to US$600 million for the expansion of Jakarta’s mass rapid transit (MRT) project.
The MRT now stretches from Lebak Bulus to the Hotel Indonesia Roundabout in central Jakarta. Work is underway to extend the tracks to Kota and later eventually West Ancol on what they call a “north-south” line. There are also further plans to develop the “east-west” line which connects West Java province’s Cikarang and Banten province’s Balaraja.
