Integrated Sustainable Bus Rapid Transit Development in Semarang

Funded by Green Climate Fund (GCF) and in collaboration with Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) Indonesia in the framework of Sustainable Urban Transport Programme Indonesia (SUTRI NAMA) and Indonesian Bus Rapid Transit Corridor Development Project (INDOBUS), PT SMI is implementing the project preparation phase for development of integrated sustainable Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system in Semarang. The project aims to develop the infrastructure for BRT system and integration with other transportation system including non-motorized transport.
