Facility improvements are\ncarried out through the optimisation of lighting systems, the\nrejuvenation of lifts and escalators, and the maintenance of station\ninfrastructure that supports the smooth daily mobility of the\npublic.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout 2026, a number of facility enhancement works have been\nundertaken at several stations. These works include the addition and\noptimisation of lighting systems on the pedestrian bridge (JPO) at\nPancoran Station, the entrance area and JPO at Kuningan Station, the JPO\narea and lift at Rasuna Said Station, as well as the addition of air\nconditioning units in the concourse area of Dukuh Atas Station.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, KAI has implemented a rejuvenation and reliability\nimprovement programme for lifts and escalators at a number of stations,\nincluding Jatimulya, Bekasi Barat, Jatibening Baru, and Cikunir 1. These\nworks involve the replacement of various main components to maintain the\nsafety, comfort, and reliability of the facilities used by the public\nevery day. Meanwhile, corrective waterproofing maintenance on roofs has\nalso been carried out at all LRT Jabodebek stations to keep facilities\nin optimal condition and provide comfort for users in various weather\nconditions.<\/p>\n<p>Manager of Public Relations for LRT Jabodebek, Radhitya Mardika,\nstated that improving station facilities is an important part of\nmaintaining the quality of safe and integrated public transport\nservices. \u201cSafety is the main foundation of public transport services.\nTherefore, every maintenance and facility improvement programme we carry\nout always prioritises safety aspects for both users and officers, so\nthat users can carry out their activities safely and comfortably from\nthe station area to their destination,\u201d said Radhitya.<\/p>\n<p>These facility improvement efforts are in line with the continued\ngrowth in the number of LRT Jabodebek users. In the January\u2013May 2025\nperiod, LRT Jabodebek served 10,727,798 users. Meanwhile, in the same\nperiod in 2026, it served 13,211,856 users. The increase in users is\nalso reflected in the average number of weekday users, which rose from\naround 98,000 users in the January\u2013May 2025 period to around 120,000\nusers in the same period in 2026. This condition shows the increasingly\nsignificant role of LRT Jabodebek in supporting the mobility of the\nJabodetabek community.<\/p>\n<p>He said that the availability of reliable facilities is an important\nfactor in supporting the user travel experience, especially amid the\ncommunity\u2019s growing need for integrated and comfortable public\ntransport. \u201cLRT Jabodebek is part of the urban transport ecosystem that\nis connected to various other modes of transport. Therefore, facility\nimprovements continue to be made so that users can switch modes more\nsafely, comfortably, and smoothly. Ultimately, all these efforts are\naimed at providing an increasingly better travel experience for the\ncommunity,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>KAI will continue to carry out maintenance and improvement of station\nfacilities as part of its efforts to provide safe, comfortable, and\nintegrated public transport services for the Jabodetabek community.<\/p>",
