KONTAN.CO.ID - JAKARTA. The MRT train successfully completed its second trial run from Lebak Bulus Station to the Hotel Indonesia Traffic Circle in Central Jakarta on Thursday. MRT Jakarta president director William Sabandar said the train covered the 14-kilometer journey in one hour at speeds below 30 km per hour. But when the train enters commercial use in March 2019, it will reach speeds of between 40 and 60 km/h, and will cover the distance in half an hour. The train is currently under an intensive internal testing period, and will begin public trial runs in December, as MRT Jakarta waits for 10 more trains to arrive from Japan.
