PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) has revealed plans to expand the\nJabodetabek Electric Train (KRL) network to Sukabumi, West Java. This\nproject is part of a major development of the commuter line network to\nincrease passenger transport capacity, which has been steadily growing\nin recent years.<\/p>\n
The President Director of PT KAI (Persero), Bobby Rasyidin, stated\nthat in addition to extending KRL services from Cikarang to Cikampek,\nthe company is preparing the electrification of the Bogor-Sukabumi line\nso that it can be served by KRL. \u201cWe are extending our commuter line\nfrom Cikarang to reach Cikampek. Furthermore, we will also develop the\nBogor-Sukabumi route, which will also become part of the KRL network,\u201d\nBobby said during a Hearing Meeting (RDP) with Commission VI of the\nIndonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI) at the Parliament Complex,\nJakarta, on Wednesday (3\/6\/2026).<\/p>\n
This plan is one of KAI\u2019s steps to expand the reach of rail-based\nmass transport services in the Jakarta buffer zones. If realised, the\npeople of Sukabumi will be able to enjoy KRL services integrated with\nthe Jabodetabek network. According to Bobby, the development of the new\nline will be accompanied by an increase in train sets to ensure\ntransport capacity continues to rise. However, to support this, KAI must\nalso add supporting facilities, such as depots for maintenance and fleet\nstorage.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs we add these train sets, we will certainly require depots;\ntherefore, we will build or expand depots in Rangkasbitung, Cikarang,\nand Bogor,\u201d he said. In addition to depot construction and expansion,\nKAI is also preparing other infrastructure developments, including the\nextension of station platforms and the construction of stabling tracks\nor train parking areas. These facilities are necessary to accommodate\nthe additional fleet that will operate at night or when not in use.<\/p>\n
Through this series of developments, KAI aims to significantly\nincrease the capacity of Jabodetabek KRL services over the next five\nyears. Currently, the number of daily KRL passengers has reached\napproximately 1.3 million during peak periods. \u201cBy 2030, we will be able\nto carry around 1.5 million to 1.6 million passengers per day.\nCurrently, our peak is at 1.3 million,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/bogor-krl-to-extend-to-sukabumi-details-revealed-1780848265", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
