TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - PT Mass Rapid Transit or MRT Jakarta has teamed up with Seoul Metro to enhance knowledge regarding the urban railway’s operation development and maintenance.

MRT president director William Sabandar said that Seoul Metro is a South Korean train operator that is managing eight train networks with a length reaching 340 kilometers.
