Free Rides on Transjakarta, MRT, and LRT Jakarta Today

JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government is providing free public transportation services on Friday (24/4/2026). The services that can be enjoyed without charge include Transjakarta, MRT Jakarta, and LRT Jakarta, coinciding with the commemoration of National Transportation Day. “Happy National Transportation Day on 24 April. We welcome it by providing facilities for ease or free rides,” said DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung in a video post on his personal Instagram account, quoted on Thursday (23/4/2026). The DKI Provincial Government hopes that the public will take the opportunity to directly experience the available public transportation services, so that in the future more residents will switch to mass transit. This step is also expected to contribute to reducing congestion and curbing air pollution levels in Jakarta, which remain major urban challenges. “The Jakarta Government wants the public to become more accustomed to using the public transportation facilities owned by the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government,” said Pramono. Meanwhile, from an operational perspective, Head of Public Relations and CSR Department of Transjakarta Ayu Wardhani explained that although the service is free, the system still records user trips with a symbolic fare of Rp 1. Users are still required to tap their cards or apps when using the service. “Through the Rp 1 fare, we want to provide convenience while inviting more residents to switch to public transport as an efficient and sustainable mobility choice,” said Ayu.
