<p dir="auto">The first two ART trains under the Kuching Urban Transportation System are now in Kuching, bringing the project closer to pilot operations.</p>
<p dir="auto">Sarawak Transport Minister Dato Sri Lee Kim Shin said the focus is now on system integration, infrastructure readiness and operational checks before the service is opened for pilot use.</p>
<h2>What is being prepared</h2>
<p dir="auto">Lee said work is progressing on the ART alignment, stations, depots and support systems.</p>
<p dir="auto">The Phase 1 Hydrogen Production Plant at Rembus Depot is also moving ahead. Once ready, it is expected to produce up to one tonne of green hydrogen a day to support pilot and early ART operations.</p>
<p dir="auto">For Kuching road users, this is one of the clearest signs yet that KUTS is moving from construction into actual service preparation.</p>
