We’re Implementing
a Plan that KUTS through Traffic.

What is KUTS ?
As Sarawak aspires to become a developed and high-income State by 2030, a reliable transport system is vital in mobilising greater productivity and economic growth.
Sarawak Metro is implementing the Kuching Urban Transportation System (KUTS) project to minimise traffic congestion on the city’s roads while spurring productivity and economic growth.
Autonomous Rapid Transit (ART)
At the heart of KUTS is the Autonomous Rapid Transit(ART) which will be the backbone of the public transport system transformation.

Green Line Depot
-
For the Green Line, the proposed depot location is at Sungai Batu.
-
The depots will integrate the various systems including the virtual tracks to and from the mainlines, signalling equipment, telecommunications equipment, automatic fare collection equipment, hydrogen vehicles’ operations, mechanical, electrical, fire engineering, and security, among others.


The Green Line
-
The Green Line is about 30km from Station DM1 near Pending to Station DM9 near Damai Central.

The Red Line
-
The Red Line is from Station SR5 at Kuching Sentral to Station SR11 at Pending and is about 12.3 km in length.
The Blue Line and Red Line will integrate at Simpang Tiga Station, which will serve as the interchange station.

Blue Line Depot
-
For the Blue Line, the proposed depot location is at Rembus.
-
The depots will integrate the various systems including the virtual tracks to and from the mainlines, signalling equipment, telecommunications equipment, automatic fare collection equipment, hydrogen vehicles’ operations, mechanical, electrical, fire engineering, and security, among others.

The Blue Line
-
The Blue Line is estimated to begin revenue service in 2025 and stretches about 27.6km from Station SM0 near Rembus to Station SM14 near the Hikmah Exchange area.

About
OCC
Operation Control Centre (OCC)
-
The Operation Control Centre (OCC) can be considered as the heart of the ART operations for KUTS.
-
The OCC is manned by traffic controllers, who monitor the hydrogen vehicles’ movements and also, via CCTV, the situation on board all our hydrogen vehicles and stations.
-
The OCC for KUTS will be located in the Administration Building of our Rembus depot.
-
It will provide integrated controls, as well as monitor and deal with any emergency situation – on the main line and in our depots – during our operation.
-
Functions and capabilities:
-
Monitor and control the hydrogen vehicles' service
-
Supervise and control the electrical power supply and distribution systems
-
Monitor and control the E&M equipment, system-wide
-
Monitor and control fire safety
-
Perform depot operations and maintenance activities
-
