  15. Sarawak Metro's Autonomous Rapid Transit (ART) vehicles will be operated on dedicated lanes and will not share the road with other road users.

    The lanes will either be at-grade (road level) or elevated, and the ART vehicles run on rubber tyres and hence the dedicated lanes will be trackless.

    The ART operation will be supported by a feeder bus network to offer the first mile and last mile connectivity for commuters.
