KUCHING: The autonomous rapid transit (ART) project here is unlikely to face the issues that caused a hydrogen-powered tram line in Foshan, China to be suspended, the Sarawak legislative assembly was told.

State Deputy Transport Minister Datuk Dr Jerip Susil said the primary reason for the suspension in China was low ridership because of competition from other public transport services such as rail, metro, buses and e-hailing.
