MRT Jakarta Plans Integration of Monas and Gambir Stations

PT MRT Jakarta is preparing a plan to connect the MRT Monas Station on the west side with Gambir Station on the east side of the National Monument (Monas) area, in line with the ongoing revitalisation of Gambir Station. “We have met with KAI management to prepare the connection plan from Monas Station to Gambir Station. The connection design is still under development,” said MRT Jakarta Director of Construction Weni Maulina, as quoted by Antara in Jakarta, Thursday 23 July 2026. In addition to finalising the physical connectivity design, MRT Jakarta is also developing an operational governance scheme for the stations in the corridor. The maintenance of Monas Station and Thamrin Station will be managed directly by PT MRT Jakarta under the coordination of the DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency to ensure the reliability of public facilities. PT MRT Jakarta is targeting the Monas Station and Thamrin Station, part of the CP 201 Phase 2A work package, to be completed and fully operational by the end of 2027. Weni stated that the physical construction progress of CP 201, which connects the Bundaran HI area to Monas, has reached 92 to 93 percent. “For CP 201, we are at 92 moving towards 93 percent. God willing, it will be completed by the end of 2027 and operational by the end of 2027,” she said. She explained that the current work focuses on completing the station interiors, including mechanical-electrical installation, architectural work, and finishing stages. Regarding the work amidst global economic dynamics and the weakening of the rupiah exchange rate, Weni confirmed that the budget ceiling for the CP 201 project, estimated at IDR 4.1 trillion, remains intact and in accordance with the initial contract value.
