The article discusses how Sarawak's Autonomous Rapid Transit (ART) project in Kuching has influenced Japan's Yamanashi Prefecture to introduce a hydrogen-powered 'Fuji Tram' for Mount Fuji's tourism industry. Following a visit to Kuching to learn about the Kuching Urban Transportation System (KUTS) initiative, Yamanashi Prefecture expressed interest in adopting the ART system due to its lower construction cost and environmental benefits. The hydrogen-powered 'trackless tram' is set to shuttle tourists at the foot of Mount Fuji, aiming to alleviate overcrowding issues during Japan's summer peak season. Sarawak Metro, the agency behind the ART project, is prepared to support Yamanashi in adapting the ART system to suit local needs and prioritize Japanese companies for the hydrogen-powered technology. This development is seen as a validation of Sarawak Metro's efforts to revolutionize public transport in Kuching and promote sustainable transport solutions on a global scale.
