The Kuching Urban Transportation System (KUTS) is an under-construction Autonomous Rail Rapid Transit (ART) system network in Kuching, Malaysia. It is the first metro rail system to be built in the state of Sarawak which was touted as one of the methods to ease traffic congestion in the city of Kuching.[2] The project is to be constructed using state funds provided by the Development Bank of Sarawak (DBOS).[2][3][4] The proposed ART lines will connect Kuching to Samarahan and Serian as well as future lines to other parts of Greater Kuching.[5] The Premier of Sarawak, Abang Abdul Rahman Johari Abang Openg had initially promised to build the first Kuching ART soon to avoid rising costs,[6] with Chinese companies offering their expertise to collaborate in the construction.[7]
