PT Transjakarta has announced welcome news for residents ahead of Eid al-Fitr 1447 H. The President Director of PT Transjakarta, Welfizon Yuza, confirmed that the TransJakarta bus service fare during the Lebaran 2026 holiday period will be set at Rp1. This policy follows an instruction from the Jakarta Governor to facilitate transport access for the public during major religious celebrations. Although described as free, technically the transaction system still requires a nominal value. Welfizon explained that Rp1 is a technical conversion from free fares (Rp0). This relates to the payment integration system across Jakarta’s transport modes so that transactions are recorded in the tap-in/tap-out system. “So, in the TJ system, Rp0 still must have a value, that’s why it becomes Rp1. So, technically, because there must be Rupiah transferred from the card, it is converted from Rp0 to Rp1,” he said in Jakarta on Tuesday (3/3). Regarding the exact date of the special fare, management is awaiting a decision letter (SK) from the Jakarta Department of Transportation (Dishub). The decision will determine whether Rp1 applies starting on 1 Syawal only or across the first two days of Lebaran. For those planning to use the busway on Eid day, note schedule adjustments. TransJakarta will commence service slightly later than the regular schedule to respect praying duties. “From our experience serving during major holidays, we usually adjust operating hours on Eid day to give all employees, especially the bus drivers, time to perform Eid prayers. Therefore, we expect to begin operations around 09:00 or 10:00 WIB,” he added. During the long holiday period, TransJakarta anticipates a surge of passengers heading to tourist areas. The management has mapped several routes likely to experience high density, including休? The text continues: Welfizon stressed that Ragunan Zoo typically becomes the busiest destination on the second and third Lebaran days. They are studying the reactivation of direct routes to Ragunan in coordination with the Department of Transportation. In addition to city tourist areas, TransJakarta is also preparing to strengthen the fleet for Transjabodetabek routes, such as services to Alam Sutera and Bogor. Additional buses will be deployed as needed by diverting vehicles from office district routes that are relatively quiet during Lebaran to routes that require extra capacity.
