JIS Station Completed, Set to Serve Passengers This Month
The Jakarta International Stadium (JIS) station, located on the Tanjung Priok KRL line, is confirmed to be ready to serve passengers starting this month. The new station is expected to facilitate easier access for the public to the JIS area.
PT KAI stated that the construction of the JIS Station has proceeded according to target. As of April 202<0xC2>6, construction progress has reached its final stage, with completion planned for May 2026 and passenger services scheduled to commence in June 2026.
“The presence of this station will ease access to the sports and residential areas, while simultaneously helping to reduce traffic congestion in the North Jakarta region,” KAI wrote in a social media post on Tuesday (9/6/2026).
KAI explained that the construction of the station was carried out alongside the Directorate General of Railways (DJKA) of the Ministry of Transportation, the Provincial Government of DKI Jakarta, and several other stakeholders.
The existence of the JIS Station is considered vital to support the increasing mobility of the population in North Jakarta. The station will eventually connect the JIS area, which has a capacity of up to 82,000 spectators, with the KRL Commuter Line service.
“Before this direct access existed, people heading to the stadium generally had to continue their journey using other modes of transport after disembarking at the nearest station. This situation often led to traffic congestion and passenger overcrowding during large-scale events,” the company stated.
Through the JIS Station, the public will be able to connect directly to the stadium area using rail-based public transport. Intermodal integration is also expected to strengthen, making travel to the North Jakarta area easier and more efficient.
KAI also noted that the number of KRL users on the Tanjung Priok line has continued to increase in recent years. In 2022, the number of customers was recorded at approximately 1.59 million, rising to 3.53 million customers by 2025.
According to KAI, this trend shows that rail-based transport is increasingly becoming the preferred choice for the public to support daily mobility. Therefore, the strengthening of infrastructure, electrification, and intermodal connectivity continues to be implemented to provide safe, comfortable, and reliable transport services.
With the imminent operation of the JIS Station, access to the stadium and surrounding residential areas is expected to become much easier, while also supporting efforts to reduce the use of private vehicles during various major events at the Jakarta International Stadium.
