Garuda Kencana Tram Mover, formerly SHS-23 Aeromovel Indonesia, Titihan Samirono (Javanese for "wind transport") or Kereta Layang (Indonesian for "elevated train"), is a people mover system at Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (TMII) in Jakarta, Indonesia. The 3.2 km system is entirely elevated with tracks situated 6 meters above the ground[2] and loops around the park.
Originally, the trains were pneumatically propelled, using the aeromovel technology developed by Oskar H.W. Coester from Brazil. It was opened in 1989 as the world's first installation of an aeromovel system. In late 2010s, the system underwent major refurbishment, with conversion of one train to be powered by an onboard diesel engine. The train runs on the original guideway but without using the airduct. The two other trains were retired. The remodeled attraction was launched on 19 March 2019.[3]
