One of the improvements is to replace the two tourist trains. Later, the trains will be replaced with 10 electric cars. Arista stated that they are not only dedicated for Asian Games 2018, but also for the Indonesian people.

Facilities at Monas, such as the National History Museum, the Independence Room, and the Peak Square, will remain the same. Arista stated that those buildings are cultural heritages that must be preserved.
