LRT Jabodebek to Trial Increased Trip Frequency During Morning Peak Hours from 8 June

Jakarta (ANTARA) - PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) remains committed to enhancing passenger comfort on the LRT Jabodebek. From Monday (8/6) to Friday (12/6), KAI will operate trial Extraordinary Trains (KLB) to increase trip frequency during morning peak hours on weekdays.

On the Jatimulya – Dukuh Atas BSI route, an additional trip will operate at 07:14 WIB, positioned between the regular schedules of 07:08 WIB and 07:16 WIB. Meanwhile, on the Harjamukti – Dukuh Atas BSI route, a trip will operate at 07:24 WIB, between the regular schedules of 07:22 WIB and 07:30 WIB.

Radhitya Mardika, Manager of Public Relations for LRT Jabodebek, stated that the trial for increased morning frequency is based on passenger movement patterns, which show high volumes of commuters during the early morning period.

“The trial to increase frequency is an adaptive step by KAI to meet the mobility needs of LRT Jabodebek users during the morning peak hour. KAI has observed an increase in passenger density, particularly at major departure stations heading towards activity centres in Jakarta,” he said.

According to LRT Jabodebek operational data, the average passenger volume during weekdays between 06:00 and 08:00 WIB is notably high at several stations, including:

• Harjamukti Station with an average of 6,224 passengers per day;

• Cikunir 1 Station with 3,274 passengers per day;

• Jatimulya Station with 2,786 passengers per day; and

• Jatibening Baru Station with 2,638 passengers per day.

Additionally, Cikoko Station, which is integrated with the KRL Commuter Line and Transjakarta, serves an average of 3,432 LRT Jabodebek passengers per day during the morning peak hour.

During this trial operation of the KLB, LRT Jabodebek will continue to serve passengers normally while optimising travel patterns in time slots with higher mobility demands. This step is expected to support a more even distribution of passengers and reduce crowding in station queues and train carriages.

KAI will continue to evaluate LRT Jabodebek passenger travel patterns to provide public transport services that are safe, comfortable, and responsive to the needs of urban communities.
