JIS Station Becomes New Magnet, Weekend Passenger Numbers Soar
The Jakarta International Stadium (JIS) station has recorded a surge in passenger numbers of up to 300 per cent on weekends since officially beginning operations. This increase is driven by high levels of public activity utilising the JIS area for exercise and recreation.
KAI Commuter VP Corporate Secretary, Karina Amanda, stated that passenger volumes at JIS Station increased significantly compared to weekdays during the first week of operations.
“This was triggered by community activities heading to the stadium area for sports or simply to enjoy the surrounding area,” Karina said in a statement on Saturday (4/7/2026).
According to KAI Commuter data, between 22–28 June 2026, there were 4,203 passenger movements at JIS Station. This figure consists of 2,555 users starting their journeys from JIS Station and 1,648 users ending their journeys at the station.
Karina noted that the average number of passengers on weekdays reached approximately 250 people per day. Meanwhile, on Sunday (28/6/2026), JIS Station served 1,271 passengers in a single day, comprising 821 boarding users and 450 alighting users.
Furthermore, the special Rp1 fare programme for Commuter Line Tanjung Priok users boarding or alighting at JIS Station has received a positive response. During the period of 22–28 June 2026, 1,232 passengers utilised the programme.
“Throughout that period, 1,232 users took advantage of the special fare programme,” said Karina.
According to her, the increase in users demonstrates the high demand from North Jakarta residents for rail-based transport services directly connected to the Jakarta International Stadium and surrounding public spaces.
Karina added that the presence of JIS Station also provides a transport alternative for the public, ensuring that access to the stadium is no longer dependent on private vehicles.
Moving forward, KAI Commuter will continue to coordinate with the government and stakeholders to gradually develop facilities and improve services at JIS Station.
“KAI Commuter also urges all users to maintain the available service facilities for our mutual comfort,” Karina concluded.
