Bekasi to build monorail line

The Jakarta Post, November 23, 2007

BEKASI: The Bekasi administration will begin the estimated Rp 5 trillion (US$554 million) construction of a monorail line in January.

Bekasi Mayor Mochtar Mohamad was quoted by Tempo Interaktif news portal on Thursday as saying, "Next week, the investor will start surveying the location of the monorail station and its route."

During a Wednesday meeting between the Bekasi administration and the investor, agreements were reached on several points, including that the administration would provide three hectares of land for a monorail station, either near the sports stadium on Jl. A. Yani or at the Bekasi bus terminal on Jl. Juanda.

When completed, the monorail will connect Bekasi, Jakarta and Tangerang. -- JP
