REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- Plans are being developed for a monorail train system to connect the terminals at Soekarno-Hatta (Soetta) International Airport, Cengkareng, on the outskirts of Jakarta.
"'Sang Dara' is a monorail train that will connect three terminals at the Soetta airport," Darmawan, monorail technician from PT Adhi Karya, said here on Friday.
The monorail system is being developed by three state enterprises - Adhi Karya, National Electronics Institute (LEN), and Indonesia's railway industry INKA.
"Sang Dara" will move along rails automatically to connect Terminal 1, Terminal 2, and Terminal 3.
The free monorail train will stop in each terminal as it travels along a three-kilometer route. "Sang Dara" will operate from 5 am until 11 pm every day, unless special flight schedules call for the train to continue to operate.
Construction work for the monorail train will begin in late 2014 and take two years to finish, said officials.
