He alsonoted that the construction will start about three months after the MoU signingand the project will be put into use in the next 1.5 or 2 years.

According to StatisticsIndonesia (BPS), the I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport welcomes around 5.7 million visitorsfrom January to November 2019.

Aside from Bali’s LRT project, the KRNA has also provided 500 million USD to finance the development of theLRT connecting the velodrome facility in Rawamangun, East Jakarta, with DukuhAtas, Central Jakarta.
