City council exploring autonomous rail option for Ipoh

Rumaizi says he believes an auto­nomous rail system is suitable to be built between the Old Town and New Town areas.

A STUDY is currently being conducted to see whether an Autonomous Rail Rapid Transit (ART) system is more suited for Ipoh, instead of light rail transit (LRT).

Ipoh mayor Datuk Rumaizi Baharin said a private company was currently doing the study and had until next January to come up with a proposal.
