It's a completely new area that's very pedestrian-friendly, with lots of parks and outdoor shopping and dining areas. It's almost 300 hectares, so it's not a tiny area. Equivalent to the the downtown area of a mid-sized city. You could call it Manila's new downtown.
The only difference I see is that it is brand new and the platform has glass railings which is good. Other than that it's no different than LRT2 in Manila. In fact I like the design of the trains on LRT2 better esp the color combination being the purple line. The Hyundai Rotem you are saying are the trains that are gonna be installed on the upcoming MRT7 or the red line. If MRT7 can replicate what you have there, as your LRT exactly looks like a red line too, then you are simply looking a twin line in Manila. So still you have a lot of catching up to do on your part.
While you are yet establishing your MRT presence there, Manila is already looking into the subway lines, monorail and cable car system.
it's still different I even say it's not the same as the Manila LRT2 .. Jakarta LRT is more like skytrain soekarno Airport the difference is skytrain have full screen door and have pole in the middle train while the interior, colour of train, station looks similar
LRT Jakarta ( pleaning of Jakarta LRT operates next year, possibly in conjunction with the Jakarta MRT)
I dont see a big difference in the trains. I see a difference in the stations. In Jakarta they have the doors on the platform so people cant jump on the tracks. I feel like it's an added luxury but not necessary. Besides some stations in Japan, most train stations around the world dont have that.
But the Jakarta trains dont look different other than the fact that they are thinner than LRT 2. They look to be about the same size as MRT and LRT 1.

Well for sure Bangkok is a small brother whom his elder brothers are allowing him to outgrow them at first but in the end maturity will outgrow the younger brother and elder brothers still would suffice.
In what way? Bangkok is definitely the more developed city. It’s not what the neighboring countries allow or disallow. I was also talking specifically about infrastructure, and there is no conceivable argument that Manila has better infrastructure than Bangkok.

In so many ways, population, potential, in proportion to their country's potential, sheer size, megapolitan area, among others.
It is, because cities/countries with larger population are generally harder to manage than those with lesser pop. In time, the cities/countries with higher pop just like China and India, they mature and cope up be able to manage then they will begin trumping those below them. Only time can tell my friend, it maybe is a bit developed now but not so much. Catching up seems to be underway.
For sure, Manila and Jakarta would be the force to reckon in Southeast Asia in the coming years.
