Jakarta Monorail (the old version)

One note from my visit to Jakarta.

Before the dream of the Jakarta Monorail comes true, it's good to see the real one. The old version of the Jakarta Monorail has been operated for years in this area. Guess, where about is it?


Right, in Taman Mini Indonesia Indah. It has been there since 1989. This monorail system was built by AEROMOVEL.

The AEROMOVEL® system is located within the recreational theme complex, Taman Mini Indonesia Indah, in Jakarta, Indonesia. This system has carried more than three million passengers over the last nine years. The system consists of a single track elevated guideway connecting six passenger stations along a 3.2km (2mi) loop. Three single-articulated vehicles operate in the line simultaneously. Each vehicle consists of two compartments with full internal access. Two vehicles were designed to carry 104 seated passengers and the third one was designed for 48 seated and 252 standing passengers.
