SEAToday.com, IKN - Indonesian Transportation Minister Budi Karya Sumadi stated that Indonesia's New Capital City (IKN) will build a Chinese-made public transport, Automated-Rail Rapid Transit (ART).
In a social media post, Minister Budi mentioned that this project will be done together with the China Railway Construction Corporation (CRCC), which also previously helped work on Whoosh. Later, ART will be built on the west and east area of IKN and will be carried out in two phases.
