In late 2010s, the system underwent major refurbishment, with conversion of one train to be powered by an onboard diesel engine.
The system was built by local contractor PT Citra Patenindo Nusa Pratama,[2] a company owned by Suharto's daughter Siti Hardiyanti Rukmana (Tutut Soeharto).
SHS-23 Aeromovel Indonesia was considered an "advanced technology" for its time,[5] as well as a prototype for urban public transport in the future.
The system was relaunched on 19 March 2019 by Tutut Soeharto, this time as chairman of the then TMII operator Harapan Kita Foundation;[3][5] currently more promoted as Kereta Layang or Titihan Samirono than "aeromovel".
Currently, the existence of the SHS-23 Aeromovel Indonesia is being replaced by a Tram Mover made by PT INKA which was expected to be fully operational on January 1, 2023 after the total renovation of TMII.
The speed is considered ideal because of the short track length and to allowing passengers to have longer time to see the panoramic view of Taman Mini Indonesia Indah more comfortably and safely.
