LRT Velodrome-Manggarai Inauguration Postponed for Facility Improvements

The Jakarta Provincial Government has postponed the inauguration of the Jakarta LRT Kelapa Gading-Manggarai route, which was previously scheduled to take place today. The delay is due to a number of facilities that still require refinement.

Head of the Jakarta Communication, Informatics, and Statistics Agency (Diskominfotik) Marulina Dewi said the decision was taken after the provincial government conducted a final evaluation of the overall implementation of the inauguration event.

“After conducting a final evaluation of the overall implementation of the event, the Jakarta Provincial Government has decided to reschedule the inauguration of the Jakarta LRT Kelapa Gading-Manggarai. We want the inauguration to be held after the refinement of a number of facility details,” Marulina said in a statement on Wednesday (26/8/2026).

Marulina stressed that the rescheduling only concerns the timing of the inauguration. The development of the Jakarta LRT Kelapa Gading-Manggarai corridor continues according to the planned stages.

“The change relates to the timing of the inauguration without altering the Jakarta LRT development agenda,” she said.

The Jakarta Provincial Government, together with PT Jakarta Propertindo (Perseroda), is continuing the development stages of the corridor. The refinements are being carried out, among other things, to provide more inclusive services for the public.

“The latest schedule will be announced once the implementation date has been set,” she said.

The Jakarta LRT Kelapa Gading-Manggarai spans 12.2 kilometres with 11 stations. The route connects Kelapa Gading to Manggarai.

The 11 stations along the route are Kelapa Gading, Boulevard Utara, Boulevard Selatan, Pulomas, Equestrian, Velodrome, Rawamangun, Pramuka, Matraman, Proklamasi, and Manggarai.

Currently, the Jakarta LRT serves the Kelapa Gading-Manggarai route with a flat fare of Rp 5,000 per journey.

With the postponement of the inauguration, the Jakarta Provincial Government has not yet set a new date. Information regarding the timing of the inauguration will be announced once all preparations and facility refinements are complete.
