Fantastic.Other cities are stepping up to seal with its transportation issues by BUILDING NEW SUBWAYS AND ELEVATED LINES. New York City? It takes 20 years to put together 2 miles of tunnel with 3 stations for 5 Billion dollars. Too bad NYCT cowers in the face of folks who cry over an elevated railline. We could have had miles of new routes by now. Thanks for posting this. |

The line that opened Sunday includes seven elevated and six underground stations built by two consortiums of local and Japanese companies.Japanese consulting is evident from the use of overhead catenary and the fact that the front fascia of the train feels like a crib of stuff that I've seen in Tokyo... |

They also went with 1.5kv overhead and 1,067mm (cape gauge) track, the most common configuration in Japan yet hardly found anywhere else, especially for new builds.Jakarta has long been a 2nd home to Japanese commuter/metro trains for their commuter system, they probably wanted to keep the option of being able to acquire impeccably maintained rolling stock for essentially their scrap value. |
