MRT route to Tangerang Selatan remains under feasibility study
A proposed MRT line would extend from Lebak Bulus in Jakarta to Tangerang Selatan, an area south-west of the capital.
The route is still being assessed in a feasibility study carried out by Sinar Mas.
Transport Minister Dudy Purwagandhi said the government has not confirmed which areas, including Pondok Cabe or Bintaro, would be on the route.
Officials are holding back route details because early disclosure could prompt land speculation and raise property prices near planned stations.
Higher land costs could make the project less economical to build.
The study must determine whether the line is technically and financially viable before construction can proceed.
The government has set no deadline because the project is being pursued by a private company, and the route and timing remain uncertain.
The proposed MRT route from Lebak Bulus to Tangerang Selatan remains under a feasibility study by Sinar Mas.
The government has not confirmed the route or when it will be announced.
Transport Minister Dudy Purwagandhi said releasing route details too early could drive up land prices.
The project’s continuation depends on whether the private-sector project is economically viable.
Areas including Pondok Cabe and Bintaro have not been confirmed as part of the route.

This story does not have two clearly opposing sides.
Don't, the land will go up. Oh, people will buy land there; that will be a problem for us.
It may not be announced. Because if it becomes known, what was ten could become a thousand, and then it won't happen.
Since this is an activity carried out by the private sector, we are not setting a target.
This story does not have a timeline yet.
