VP Corporate Communication of PT Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI), Anne Purba, stated that KRL operations will gradually return to normal on Wednesday (29/4/2026) afternoon. Subsequently, KRL trains will be able to pass through Bekasi Timur Station and onwards to Cikarang. “Along with developments in the on-site handling, services are planned to resume gradually up to the Bekasi-Cikarang line in the afternoon,” Anne explained, quoted from Kompas.com on Wednesday (29/4/2026). Therefore, KRL journeys are still limited to Bekasi Station. “In the morning, KRL journeys are still limited only to Bekasi Station,” Anne said. “The on-site team continues to carry out careful evacuation. We ensure that journeys will only be operated after all safety aspects are met,” Anne added. The KNKT has not been able to say much yet, as they are still in the early stages of investigation. “Still in the early investigation process,” explained KNKT Public Relations Team Leader, Anggo Anugoro, on Tuesday (28/4/2026). “Still in the early investigation process. There are no developments we can share at this time,” Anggo stated. Meanwhile, the Minister of Transportation (Menhub), Dudy Purwagandhi, fully supports the KNKT investigation. However, the evacuation process for victim safety is the top priority. “We ensure the evacuation process is carried out quickly, prioritising the safety of affected victims,” Dudy said. Once the evacuation process is complete, the KNKT will investigate the cause of the accident. “We continue to coordinate intensively with all related parties to ensure the evacuation process runs optimally,” Dudy added.
