KUCHING, May 24 — Sarawak Minister of Transport Datuk Seri Lee Kim Shin today rubbished an Opposition allegation that the Autonomous Rapid Transit in Kuching City was a political decision by Tan Sri Abang Johari Openg when he became the state’s chief minister in 2017.
He said a feasibility study on the Kuching Urban Transport System was carried out in 2017 by Sarawak Economic Development Corporation and completed in 2018. He said the feasibility study also recommended that the ART stations are based on the demand for public transport and the ridership was modelled during the scheme design for the proposed KUTS project.
Lee said KUTS is envisioned to be the backbone of a modern and green public transport system for Greater Kuching, with the main component being ART, which will be powered by hydrogen fuel cells and will run on virtual tracks.
