Passenger Movement Rises, Manggarai Station Set for Development

PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero), or KAI, regards Manggarai Station as having a strategic role in the development of Jakarta’s public transport system. Currently, activity at Manggarai Station reaches around 162,000 passenger movements per day, with approximately 700-750 train journeys each day.

“The scale of this mobility serves as an important basis for strengthening connectivity and the future arrangement of the Manggarai area,” said KAI Vice President Corporate Communication Anne Purba in a written statement in Jakarta on Monday (10/8/2026).

Anne said the high level of public movement makes Manggarai more than just a transit location. The area has the opportunity to develop as a meeting point for various increasingly connected public transport services.

“Manggarai is in a highly strategic position in the journeys of Jakarta residents and the agglomeration area. The focus going forward is how transfers between services can become easier, journeys more efficient, and access to the areas surrounding the station better,” said Anne.

She said KAI data records the number of KRL Commuter Line passengers who tapped in at Manggarai Station reached 5,142,739 passengers in 2023. That figure rose to 5,575,711 passengers in 2024, and stood at 5,456,309 passengers in 2025. Throughout January-June 2026, the number has reached 2,716,932 passengers.

“These figures demonstrate the scale of travel activity centred on Manggarai from year to year,” said Anne.

She said Manggarai’s role has also expanded with the presence of the Airport Commuter Line service. Overall, the train served 1,970,531 passengers in 2023, rising to 2,242,536 passengers in 2024, then reaching 2,346,934 passengers in 2025. Specifically at Manggarai Station, 230,314 passengers boarded the Airport Commuter Line in January-June 2026.
