LRT Jabodebek Trials Additional Morning Peak-Hour Services
PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) has begun testing an increase in the frequency of LRT Jabodecker services during morning peak hours to accommodate the high mobility of the public towards activity centres in Jakarta.
The trial is being conducted on weekdays, from 8 to 12 June 2026, through the operation of Special Trains (KLB) on several routes that experience high passenger density during the morning.
LRT Jabodebek Public Relations Manager, Radhitya Mardika, stated that the additional services are being implemented based on passenger movement patterns that show high passenger volumes during the morning period.
“The trial of increased frequency is an adaptive step by KAI to respond to the mobility needs of LRT Jabodebek users during the morning peak hours. KAI has observed an increase in passenger density, particularly at major departure stations heading towards activity centres in Jakarta,” Radhitya said in a statement.
During the trial, an additional service on the Jatimulya-Dukuh Atas BNI route will operate at 07:14 WIB, positioned between the regular schedules of 07:08 WIB and 07:16 WIB. Meanwhile, an additional service on the Harjamukti-Dukuh Atas BNI route will run at 07:24 WIB, between the regular schedules of 07:22 WIB and 07:30 WIB.
Based on LRT Jabodebek operational data, several stations recorded high passenger volumes on weekdays between 06:00 and 08:00 WIB. Harjamukti Station recorded the highest number of users, averaging 6,224 people per day.
Furthermore, Cikoko Station, which is integrated with KRL Commuter Line and Transjakarta services, serves an average of 3,432 users per day during the morning peak. Cikunir 1 Station recorded an average of 3,274 users per day, Jatimulya Station 2,786 users per day, and Jatibening Baru Station approximately 2,638 users per day.
KAI noted that the operation of the Special Trains is being conducted without disrupting existing regular services. The additional trips are expected to help distribute passengers more evenly and reduce congestion at stations and within the train carriages.
According to Radhitya, the company will continue to monitor the results of the trial as material for future service development evaluation.
“KAI will continue to evaluate the travel patterns of LRT Jabodebek users to provide public transportation services that are safe, comfortable, and responsive to the needs of urban communities,” he said.
