Indonesia Continues Discussions on Implementing String Transport Projects

[20.05.2026]

Indonesia is continuing discussions on the development of projects based on innovative string transport technology, with Jakarta emerging as a key focus area for future implementation. The country is increasingly viewed as a promising market due to rising urban mobility demands, rapid infrastructure expansion, and growing interest in sustainable transport solutions.

Recently, the CEO of uScovery DMCC, Oleg Zaretskiy, held a meeting in Jakarta with representatives of the Directorate General of Railways (DJKA) under the Ministry of Transportation of Indonesia, as well as representatives from PT Jababeka Tbk. Discussions focused on the potential implementation of string transport solutions within the rapidly developing Jababeka area — one of the largest industrial and residential districts located on the outskirts of Jakarta.

As the population and economic activity within Jababeka continue to grow, the local transportation network is facing increasing pressure. Despite the presence of existing rail transit infrastructure, congestion and connectivity challenges remain significant, particularly in solving the “last mile” transportation issue between residential, commercial, and industrial areas and existing railway stations.

During the meeting, participants discussed how innovative transport systems could complement existing infrastructure and improve urban and suburban mobility. According to the parties involved, conventional transport solutions alone may not be sufficient to efficiently address future demand.

Allan Tandiono, who participated in the discussions, highlighted the importance of introducing advanced transportation technologies capable of supporting Indonesia’s long-term mobility and infrastructure development goals.

The discussions also emphasized the importance of implementing a pilot string transport project to demonstrate the operational and economic effectiveness of the technology. Among the concepts reviewed was a potential route connecting a national park area with an existing metro or rail transit line, offering an environmentally friendly and efficient mobility solution.

Support for the development of string transport technology is also growing within Indonesia’s professional and academic transport community. In particular, Dr. Haris Muhammadun continues to support the evaluation of innovative transport systems and is actively involved in the preparation of analytical and feasibility materials for government institutions.

Indonesia remains one of several strategic regions where discussions surrounding next-generation urban mobility solutions continue to gain momentum as cities seek sustainable, efficient, and scalable transport alternatives for the future.
