WE WORK ON ALL THE MOBILITY SOLUTIONS OF TODAY AND TOMORROW!

> Indonesia, as the largest South-East Asian country with nearly 300 million
> inhabitants, has seen the development of new large public transport projects
> in recent years to alleviate the recurring traffic problems in major urban
> centres in Jakarta and the island of Java. Modernisation and extension of the
> existing railway and road networks are also crucial in ensuring demographic
> and economic growth. SYSTRA, present in Indonesia for decades, has actively
> participated in the construction of major urban railway projects in Jakarta
> (LRT Jabodebek, MRT Jakarta), and our ambition is to help Indonesia further
> fulfil its ambitions building efficient and sustainable transport systems.
