The Jakarta MRT System is a railway system partly elevated and the remaining is underground. The planning for the system has been included in the Study for Transportation Master Plan (Sitramp) conducted by the Indonesian government (Badan Perencanaan Pembangunan Nasional) with a grant from the Japanese JICA. The results of the study has been legalized by it's inclusion in the Jakarta Provincial Government's Pola Transportasi Makro (Macro Transportation Design).
The route coresponds to the busway line 1 (south - north) and 2 and 3 (west - east). The MRT is planned to replace those 3 busway lines. The first segment of the Jakarta MRT System is the Lebak Bulus - Dukuh Atas segment. It is 14 km long, which 4 km is underground. The stations elevated are Lebak Bulus, Fatmawati, Cipete, Haji Nawi, Blok A, Blok M, Sisingamangaraja and Senayan. The stations underground are Istora, Bendungan Hilir, Setiabudi and Dukuh Atas.
The second segment will be along the Dukuh Atas - Kota.
The third segment is along the busway line 2 (Kalideres - Harmoni) and line 3 (Harmoni - Pulogadung)
The project is a joint project by the Indonesian Central Government (Directorate General of Railways) and the Jakarta Provincial Government (Badan Perencanaan Pembangunan Daerah). It is expected that the first segment Lebak Bulus - Dukuh Atas will start operation in 2014. The first segment will be funded by the JBIC loan number IP - 536 for the Engineering Services and two future loans for the construction cost.
