The Jakarta City Transportation Council (DTKJ) has submitted a\nproposal for a new TransJakarta fare scheme to the Jakarta Provincial\nGovernment. One of the key features is a subscription model claimed to\nbe more economical for daily workers.<\/p>\n
DTKJ Chairman Sugihardjo stated that subscription concepts are widely\nimplemented in various countries to encourage the public to use public\ntransport more regularly. The DTKJ has designed fare schemes ranging\nfrom weekly and bi-weekly to monthly options.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are encouraging subscription tariffs. Many overseas locations use\nsubscription systems,\u201d Sugihlarjo said at Jakarta City Hall, as reported\non Tuesday (7\/7\/2026).<\/p>\n
He noted that the subscription proposal is part of a study on\nadjusting public transport fares in Jakarta. According to him, the\nsubscription scheme could lighten travel costs for residents who use\npublic transport daily, particularly workers.<\/p>\n
Assumed TransJakarta Fare to Reach Rp 5,000<\/strong><\/p>\n Sugihardjo explained that the proposed monthly subscription of Rp\n200,000 is calculated based on the travel needs of workers using\nTransJakarta every day. If the regular fare eventually becomes Rp 5,000\nper single trip, users commuting to and from work would spend\napproximately Rp 10,000 per day.<\/p>\n Assuming 25 working days in a month, the travel cost would reach\napproximately Rp 250,000. The DTKJ subsequently proposed a discount of\nabout 20 per cent through the subscription scheme, bringing the rate\ndown to Rp 200,000 per month.<\/p>\n \u201cIf it is 5,000 to go and 5,000 to return, that is already 10,000.\nMultiplied by 25 working days, it becomes 250,000. Because we are\nproposing a 20 per cent discount for subscriptions, the rate would only\nbe 200,000,\u201d he elaborated.<\/p>\n In addition to monthly packages, the DTKJ is also considering options\nfor shorter subscription periods, such as weekly or bi-weekly packages.\nThis scheme is expected to accommodate users who do not travel every\nday.<\/p>\n TransJakarta Rp 5,000, TransJabodetabek Rp\n10,000<\/strong><\/p>\n The DTKJ also proposed a simplification of TransJakarta fare groups.\nIn the future, fares within the Jakarta area are proposed to be a single\ngroup of Rp 5,000, covering BRT, non-BRT, and integration with\nMikrotrans services.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, for TransJabodetabek services, the DTKJ proposes a fare of\nRp 10,000. Sugihardjo mentioned that such fare adjustments must be\naccompanied by improvements in service quality and ease of intermodal\nintegration.<\/p>\n Sugihardjo stated that the fare study considers not only operational\ncosts but also the public\u2019s ability to pay. He noted that household\ntransport expenditure must be maintained so that public transport does\nnot become a financial burden.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat we are looking at is how to ensure these fares do not burden\nthe community,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n Pramono Reviewing Fare Proposal<\/strong><\/p>\n The Governor of Jakarta, Pramono Anung, admitted to receiving the\nproposal from the DTKJ regarding the adjustment of TransJabodetabek\nfares, including the subscription scheme for high-density corridors. The\nproposal will be studied immediately by the Jakarta Provincial\nGovernment.<\/p>\n \u201cI have received the proposal. We will discuss it, and a decision\nmust be made soon, especially for the TransJabodetabek routes to the\nairport,\u201d Pramono told reporters on Tuesday (7\/7).<\/p>\n Pramono stated that discussions regarding the TransJabodetabek fare\nadjustment are currently being conducted alongside the Jakarta Regional\nHouse of Representatives (DPRD). He acknowledged that the decision has\nbeen delayed from his previously stated target.<\/p>\n \u201cAt that time, I promised it would be announced within three months.\nIt has now been more than three months, so we are currently discussing\nthis with the Jakarta Provincial DPRD,\u201d he said.<\/p>",
