Lebaran 2026 Promo Lets Riders Pay Rp 1 for Transjakarta, MRT and LRT
The public using Transjakarta, MRT, and LRT during Lebaran 2026 will only need to pay Rp 1. The instruction was delivered by the Governor of DKI Jakarta, Pramono Anung.
“During Eid al-Fitr we will make the city’s transport free,” Pramono said as he opened the Jakarta Ramadan Festival at Bundaran HI, quoted from Kompas.com (27 February 2026).
According to him, the policy aims to encourage residents to stay active and celebrate Lebaran in Jakarta.
“So here, in the Transjakarta, MRT, and other systems, if it is Rp 0 there still has to be a value. That’s why it was made Rp 1. In reality Rp 1 and Rp 0 are not different for passengers,” said Welfizon at the Jakarta City Hall, quoted from Kompas.com, Wednesday (4 March 2026).
He explained that the electronic money card system still requires a rupiah value so transactions can be processed. Therefore, the Rp 0 tariff was technically changed to Rp 1.
In other words, for the public the service remains free, only the payment system is recorded as Rp 1 so that transactions can run normally.
Promo said this move is expected to encourage people to switch to public transport, thereby reducing the potential for congestion as mobility increases.
“Why are we doing this? Again to emphasise that rather than getting stuck in traffic or spending on trips abroad and so on, it is better to stay in Jakarta,” Pramono added.
The programme’s peak is planned to run from 31 March 2026 with a range of city entertainment events, including a light festival and thematically titled events “Mudik to Jakarta”.
Welfizon said TransJakarta PT would also increase the number of buses to several tourist destinations during Lebaran 2026. Among the routes: Ancol, Ragunan, Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (TMII), and Pantai Indah Kapuk (PIK).
The expansion is intended to anticipate a surge in passengers expected during the long holiday period.
“So to Ancol, then to Taman Mini, Ragunan, maybe PIK as well, because there is already a PIK route. These are the routes that we may strengthen with more vehicles,” he said.
