The recent suspension of the hydrogen-powered tram line in Foshan, China, has raised concerns about the impact on similar projects worldwide. However, in Sarawak, Malaysia, the Deputy Minister of Transport reassured that this suspension would not affect the implementation of the Autonomous Rapid Transit (ART) project. The primary reasons behind the Chinese suspension were low ridership and competition from other public transport services, emphasizing the necessity for comprehensive transport solutions. Unlike the Chinese tram line, Sarawak's ART project aims to revolutionize urban transportation by providing a reliable mass transit system with dedicated lanes to reduce travel time and traffic congestion. The use of green hydrogen as the power source highlights Sarawak's commitment to sustainable development and carbon emission reduction. Additionally, the integration of 55 hydrogen feeder buses into the Kuching Urban Transportation System (KUTS) signifies a proactive approach to enhancing first and last-mile connectivity for commuters within a 3-km radius of each station. Sarawak's initiatives showcase a positive step towards eco-friendly urban mobility and a model for sustainable transport infrastructure.
