        "content": "<p>Rangkasbitung\u2019s volume is nearly the same as Bekasi,Jakarta (ANTARA)\n- PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero), or KAI Group, is strengthening\ninfrastructure and service capacity on its Green Line commuter rail\nnetwork as passenger volumes continue to rise.<\/p>\n<p>KAI Group Vice President of Corporate Communication Anne Purba said\nhere Friday that expanding capacity toward Rangkasbitung has become\nincreasingly important as passenger demand on the route grows\nrapidly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we look at the Cikarang Line and Rangkasbitung, their\ncontributions are now almost neck and neck. Rangkasbitung\u2019s volume is\nnearly the same as Bekasi,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>The Bogor Line still accounts for the largest share of commuter\npassengers, at 43.9 percent, down from about 60 percent previously as\nridership on other routes has increased.<\/p>\n<p>The Cikarang and Bekasi lines account for 24.7 percent of passengers,\nwhile the Rangkasbitung Line\u2019s share has reached 22.5 percent, Anne\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>The increase in ridership is prompting KAI to strengthen Green Line\ninfrastructure, including expanding power capacity and increasing each\ntrainset to 12 cars.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe conducted a trial of the 12-car configuration yesterday, but\nthere are still infrastructure preparations needed before capacity can\ngrow again,\u201d Anne said.<\/p>\n<p>Anne said increasing commuter capacity depends not only on reducing\nintervals between services, known as headway, but also on the passenger\ncapacity of each trainset.<\/p>\n<p>KAI has previously expanded trainsets from four cars to eight, then\n10, and is now working toward a 12-car configuration to accommodate\nrising demand.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond station infrastructure, KAI is also preparing additional\nrolling stock to support Green Line services, with a total target of 36\ntrainsets.<\/p>\n<p>Related news: Trans Sumatra Railway to create integrated transport\nhubs: Ministry<\/p>\n<p>Related news: Bali, KAI plan battery-powered tram from airport to\nCanggu<\/p>\n<p>Related news: KAI strengthens data security as digital rail use\ngrows<\/p>\n<p>Translator: Ahmad MF, Rahmad Nasution<\/p>",
