The Bogor Regency Government is preparing to develop a cable car system connecting the Summarecon area in Sukaraja District with the Gunung Mas Rest Area in the Puncak tourist destination.
The project is designed as one of the key solutions to ease traffic congestion along the Puncak tourist corridor and will be financed through private investment without relying on the regional budget (APBD).
Bogor Regent Rudy Susmanto said the project is currently in the feasibility study stage.
The regency administration is also in discussions with several potential investors who may participate in the development of the project.
According to Rudy, in addition to the cable car concept, the government is evaluating several alternative transportation systems, including an electric commuter rail service (KRL).
However, all of these proposals require investments worth trillions of rupiah, making them financially unfeasible to fund through the regional budget alone.
"The project requires an investment of several trillion rupiah. Therefore, we will not finance it through the regional budget but instead encourage private sector participation," Rudy said.
He explained that the preliminary concept includes the construction of a lower terminal in the Summarecon area, which will serve as a park-and-ride facility where visitors can leave their private vehicles before continuing their journey to Puncak by cable car.
The upper terminal is planned to be located at the Gunung Mas Rest Area. Through this concept, tourists are expected to shift from private vehicles to public transportation, helping reduce traffic congestion along the Puncak route.
Rudy believes that the cable car project represents a strategic step toward developing a more integrated transportation system for the Puncak tourism area. In addition to easing congestion, the project is expected to provide a more convenient and efficient travel alternative for both residents and visitors.
