        "summary": "The UK Ambassador to Indonesia, Dominic Jermey, visited Yogyakarta Station on 8 April as an initial step towards collaboration with the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY) government on developing Transit Oriented Development (TOD) based on urban rail systems. This partnership aims to integrate housing, business, and public facilities around stations to promote low-carbon, integrated urban mobility, including guidelines for TOD implementation, Land Value Capture, and technical assistance for inclusive e-mobility planning. Local officials noted challenges in reviving old rail lines due to urban encroachment, proposing innovative solutions like signal-based rail on asphalt to avoid new track construction, ultimately seeking sustainable, low-emission transport to reduce congestion.",

This support includes preparing implementation\nguidelines for Transit-Oriented Development and Land Value Capture, as\nwell as the necessary technical assistance to lay the foundations for\ninclusive e-mobility planning.<\/p>\n<p>Plans to develop urban rail transport connecting Yogyakarta City to\nBantul and Sleman have actually been included in local government\nstudies.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Secretary of DIY, Ni Made Dwipanti Indrayanti, explained\nthat it is not feasible to revive the old railway lines, thus requiring\nnew solutions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ni Made Dwipanti Indrayanti<\/strong> \u2013 Secretary of the\nSpecial Region of Yogyakarta<\/p>\n<p>(00:34 \u2013 01:03)<\/p>\n<p>Because the old rails are already covered by buildings. If it is to\nbe facilitated with rail, it\u2019s a rail model on asphalt using signals.\nBut it\u2019s still called rail, not a bus, though similar to a bus. That is\nfeasible because we don\u2019t have to build new rails or activate the old\nones.<\/p>\n<p>This cooperation between DIY and the UK in public transport\ndevelopment is hoped to realise a sustainable transport system that is\nlow-emission and reduces congestion.<\/p>\n<p>From Yogyakarta, Special Region of Yogyakarta, Imam Prasetyo reported\nfor ANTARA News Agency.<\/p>",
