Construction Process

Building a MRT system is not purely a matter of economic and financial feasibility, but more than that, how to reflects the vision of a city. Life and economic activity of a city, among other things, depend on how easily can its citizens travel and how often they can do that to reach various destinations in the city. The main goal of the construction of the MRT system is to provide opportunity for citizens to improve the quality and quantity of travel to become more reliable, trustworthy, safe, convenient, affordable and economical.

Jakarta has grown very rapidly, forcing many people, especially those from the working class, to stay outside city boundaries.
Everyday, more than 20 million commuters from areas around Jakarta (known as Jabodetabek) exit and enter the capital. The poorly-controlled and overly rapid nature of Jakarta and Greater Jakarta's expansion significantly increase transportation costs, reduce mobility and quality of life.
As Jabodetabek continues to grow, the issue of transportation becomes an inevitable problem. It is estimated that by 2020, without any significant breakthrough in the transportation system, Jakarta would experience tremendous traffic congestions that causes economic losses amounting to Rp 65 billion. Currently, modes of public transportation in Jakarta is dominated by private vehicles, leaving only 2% for rail-based transportation.

Jakarta's uncontrollable growth also has lessen supply of land, where most are occupied by residential and low-rise buildings. As a result, today Jakarta does not have enough room for future developments. To be able to meet the demands of economic growth and social development, one of the most sensible way is to draw up a carefully planned integration plan with areas surrounding the ​​Jakarta MRT project, as well as the rejuvenation of urban areas in a comprehensive manner. This urban renewal initiative should be able to effectively combine intelligent land use with the development of a mass transportation network.
