Overhead Power Line Struck by Lightning, Disrupting Serpong–Kebayoran KRL Route

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com — An operational disruption occurred on the green line route, or Tanah Abang-Rangkasbitung, on Monday afternoon (4/5/2026). Citing KAI’s X page, this was caused by a disruption to the Overhead Power Line (LAA) network on the line between Jurangmangu Station and Pondok Ranji Station due to a lightning strike. The incident led to adjustments in Commuter Line services on that route. In response, KAI Commuter stated that the disruption is still being handled by personnel. Due to the disruption, Commuter Line operations have experienced changes in pattern. Trains from Rangkasbitung Station and Parung Panjang Station can now only serve passengers up to Serpong Station. Meanwhile, journeys from Tanah Abang Station are limited to Kebayoran Station. KAI urges users to adjust their travel plans during the handling process. “We urge users to adjust their travel plans and follow the instructions of personnel on site. We apologise for the inconvenience,” it added. As of now, repair work is still underway to restore normal KRL operations on that line.
