City plans station in Pluit for trains to airport

JAKARTA: The city administration plans to develop a North Jakarta transportation hub called Pluit City Terminal, with train tracks running from the terminal to Soekarno-Hatta International Airport.

"Pluit residents no longer have to use private cars to go to Soekarno-Hatta airport. They can take a train," Governor Fauzi Bowo said Saturday, as quoted by beritajakarta.com.

"This transportation would help residents as well as ease traffic congestion."

The train terminal will be built this year, he said. - JP
