A total of 13 train services departing from Gambir Station will stop at Jatinegara Station today due to the National Dhikr and Prayer event held in the Monas area, Central Jakarta. This change in route is designed to allow long-distance train passengers to avoid traffic congestion around Monas, which is expected to cause heavy traffic and vehicle diversions on several roads leading to Gambir Station, according to Franoto Wibowo, Public Relations Manager of PT KAI Daop 1 Jakarta.

Daop 1 Jakarta has taken this step to provide an alternative for customers who may face difficulties reaching Gambir Station due to traffic conditions. Franoto noted that passengers can still board from Gambir Station as per their original tickets.
