flag Putrajaya cancels ART expansion due to high costs, despite pilot success.

flag Putrajaya will not expand its Automated Rail Transit (ART) system due to high costs, with a 10-year project estimated at RM211.95 million exceeding the local authority’s financial capacity. flag The decision, confirmed by Deputy Minister Lo Su Fui, follows a 2024 pilot that tested a trackless tram with a 307-passenger capacity. flag Despite the pilot’s success, fiscal constraints have led to the cancellation, with no near-term plans for rollout. flag Officials emphasized fiscal responsibility, though future reconsideration remains possible if funding and approvals are secured.
