Once again, INKA-manufactured electric commuter trains (KRL) have\nexperienced technical disruptions. The latest victims were the\nBogor-Jakarta route during Monday morning\u2019s peak period.<\/p>\n
Several passengers reported issues with the doors on one of the train\nsets operating on the Bogor-Jakarta Kota route. In response, KAI\nCommuter (KCI) issued an apology.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe apologise for the inconvenience caused. We inform you that KA\n1203 (Bogera-Jakarta Kota) experienced a schedule deviation due to a\nnecessary inspection of the train set at Citayam Station, and it has now\nresumed its journey,\u201d KCI stated on its official Threads account on\nMonday (28\/9\/2026).<\/p>\n
A passenger named Janit reported that the incident occurred at 06:58\nWIB at Citayam Station. At that time, the train failed to proceed as the\ndoors were repeatedly opened and closed. The train was only able to pass\nthrough again at approximately 07:06 WIB.<\/p>\n
According to Janit, door malfunctions frequently occur at stations\nwith high passenger density. However, once the train passed Juanda\ntowards Jakarta Kota and the passenger load decreased, the doors\nreturned to normal operation.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlmost every station with heavy passenger loads experiences door\nproblems; once it is less crowded after Juanda towards Kota, the doors\nbecome stable,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
As a result of the incident, he reported being late for work.\nSubsequent KRL services were also reportedly affected by the INKA train\nmalfunction.<\/p>\n
\u201cConsequently, I arrived at the office late. I checked the C-Access\nApplication to see the position of the trains following this INKA unit,\nand found that the intervals between stations were quite tightly\ncompressed,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Three KRL Services Delayed<\/strong><\/p>\n KAI Commuter apologised for the disruptions to the Bogor-Jakarta Kota\nKRL services this morning. As a result of the malfunction, at least\nthree services on the route experienced delays.<\/p>\n \u201cKAI Commender expresses its apologies to all users for the\ninconvenience caused by technical issues with the door system of\nCommuter Line No.\u00a01203 on the Bogor-Jakarta Kota route, Monday (28\/9)\nmorning,\u201d said KAI Commuter VP Corporate Secretary, Karina Amanda, when\ncontacted on Monday (28\/9\/2026).<\/p>\n \u201cThe issue caused delays in travel along the Bogor-Jakarta Kota\nline,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n Karina noted that the incident began at 07:03 WIB. Initially,\nofficers received reports of a malfunction in one of the doors on the\nthird carriage from the rear of Commuter Line No.\u00a01203 while stopped at\nPlatform I, Citayam Station.<\/p>\n \u201cKAI Commuter officers immediately coordinated with the technical\nteam from PT INKA and the Train Supervision Officer (PUKRL) of Depok to\nperform emergency repairs on-site,\u201d said Karina.<\/p>\n INKA Previously Cancelled 17 Services<\/strong><\/p>\n KCI had previously reduced the number of KRL services on the\nBogor-Jakarta Kota route until the end of September due to fleet\nmaintenance. PT Industri Kereta Api (Persero), known as INKA, is\nresponsible for the maintenance of the problematic trains.<\/p>\n Senior Manager of Corporate Communication and Representative Office\nof PT INKA, Nanang Agung Rohmandiyas, stated that his team is directly\ninvolved in the maintenance of the iE305 series KRL fleet. He noted that\nthese inspections are conducted to ensure all components are functioning\ncorrectly.<\/p>\n \u201cSince the beginning of this process, our engineering and quality\nassurance teams have been working alongside the KAI Commuter team to\nensure every component, including the bogies and propulsion systems,\nfunctions optimally. We fully support this process to ensure the\nreliability and safety of the fleet,\u201d Nanang said in a joint release\nwith KCI and INKA on Tuesday (8\/9\/2026).<\/p>\n He emphasised INKA\u2019s commitment to the quality and reliability of the\nproducts used in KRL services. As part of this general check-up process,\nINKA will continue to coordinate with KCI to ensure all manufactured\ntrain sets meet safety and comfort standards for passengers.<\/p>\n \u201cFor us, this is a form of responsibility as a manufacturer and\nsynergy within the railway ecosystem, with the ultimate goal of\nimproving product quality for the comfort and safety of Commuter Line\nusers,\u201d said Nanang.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, KAI Commuter VP Corporate Secretary Karina Amanda\nexplained that 17 KRL services were adjusted due to fleet maintenance.\nThese adjustments to departure times occurred during the morning,\nafternoon, and evening.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are currently conducting intensive maintenance on our KRL fleet\nto ensure the safety and security of travel,\u201d said Karina.<\/p>\n The schedule included the cancellation of 7 services from\nBogor\/Cilebut\/Depok towards Manggarai\/Jakarta Kota and 5 services from\nJakarta Kota towards Bogor in the morning, as well as 2 services from\nManggarai towards Bogor and 3 services from Bogor in the afternoon.<\/p>",
