LRT Jabodebek Transforms Stations into Public Spaces with 'Music on Track'
Jakarta (ANTARA) - LRT Jabodebek continues to develop its services by transforming stations from mere boarding and alighting points into comfortable, vibrant public spaces that provide added value for the community. The initiative forms part of efforts to enhance customer experience, making journeys on public transport more enjoyable without compromising the primary focus on safety, security and operational reliability.
The transformation has become increasingly relevant as public interest in using LRT Jabodebek grows. In the first half of 2026, Cawang Station served 1,470,895 users, an increase of 248,995, or roughly 21 per cent, compared with the same period last year. This shows that the station has become a space increasingly utilised by the public every day.
As one implementation of this transformation, LRT Jabodebek held the ‘Vok Pop: Music on Track’ event at Cawang LRT Station on Saturday (26/7). Through the event, users could enjoy live music performances free of charge, whether while waiting for their train or after completing their journey.
The event, which ran from 3.30pm to 5.30pm WIB, featured performances by Alvin Lapian, Grace Kaitlin, Martin Wiguna, Canti, Calvin Jeremy and William Sihimbing. In addition to the music, users could take part in various interactive activities and receive exclusive souvenirs and complimentary drinks provided throughout the event.
LRT Jabodebek’s Manager of Public Relations, Radhitya Mardika, said that the development of public transport is now measured not only by punctuality and operational reliability, but also by the quality of experience users have while at the station.
“We want to change the perception that a station is merely a place to arrive, wait and depart. Going forward, we want stations to become part of the urban public realm where people can interact comfortably, enjoy positive activities, while still supporting mobility. Music on Track is one step towards realising that experience.”
According to him, developing public spaces around stations is part of LRT Jabodebek’s efforts to deliver services that better meet the needs of urban communities. As a culture of using public transport develops, users need not only safe and punctual journeys, but also a comfortable environment that offers a positive experience.
“Public transport is no longer just about moving from one point to another. The experience at the station is now an important part of service quality. When people feel comfortable using public transport, we hope more will make it their daily mobility choice.”
Going forward, LRT Jabodebek will continue to introduce service innovations that add value for users. Through developing stations as more vibrant, inclusive and welcoming public spaces for all, LRT Jabodebek hopes public transport will become an integral part of a modern lifestyle while encouraging more people to switch to mass transit.
