The initial stage of Bali’s first underground light rail transit (LRT) project, known as Phase 1A, is estimated to cost USD876 million. The project involves constructing a 6.04 km track from I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport in Denpasar to Jl.
The Bali LRT is part of the larger Bali Urban Railway project, which is tendered on a business-to-business basis and is expected to cost up to USD20 billion, including transit-oriented developments along the network. Three consortiums have shown interest in the project, PT Bumi Indah Prima (partnering with a China-based company), France-based RATP Group, and Germany-based Siemens Group.
