History

KRL Commuterline

The modernization of the commuter railway system, begin in 2011. Network operations were greatly simplified from 37 point-to-point service patterns into six integrated lines (known as "loop line" system) all running local, stopping at every station, as express services were abolished. On 17 April 2013, the Commuterline extension to Maja in the Green Line commenced operation.[1]

Jakarta MRT

Transport issues are attracting increasing political attention with a government goal of increasing the number of trips using public transport to 60% by 2030.[2] The idea of MRT construction in Jakarta has been sparked by the Head of the Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology, B.J. Habibie (a man who would later become president).[3] [4] The first line of the Jakarta MRT was officially operated on 24 March 2019 after being inaugurated by President Joko Widodo.[5] [6] [7]

Jabodebek LRT

The Jabodebek light rapid transit project is aimed to tackle Jakarta's high road traffic congestion. The northern section of the LRT project partly replaces the Jakarta Monorail project which has been cancelled.[8] The LRT's public free trial run, is planned started on 12 July 2023, with commercial operations slated to begin on 17 August 2023.[9] The trial lasted until 17 July, before it was halted for a software upgrade.[10]

Jakarta LRT

The proposed LRT system in Jakarta was initially conceived as an alternative to the suspended Jakarta Monorail construction project.[11] [12] [13] A full public trial run began on 11 June 2019 between Boulevard Utara and Velodrome stations, with free admission to registered ticket holders.[14] [15]

SHIA Airport Rail Link

The project plan was officially solidified only in 2011 with the issuing of a presidential regulation, Keppres No. 83 Year 2011, which assigned PT Angkasa Pura II and PT Kereta Api Indonesia to carry out the project. The railway was opened between SHIA and BNI City on 26 December 2017 and officially inaugurated on 2 January 2018.[16] Services were extended to Manggarai on 5 September 2019.[17]

Whoosh

Concepts for high-speed rail (HSR) in Indonesia were first to discussions at Asian Investment Summit in 2013, and detailed plans being set forth in 2015.[18] [19] [20] [21] The Jakarta-Bandung HSR began trial operation with passengers on 7 September 2023, and commercial operations on 2 October 2023.[22] [23]

Trans Jakarta

Transjakarta was conceived to provide a fast, comfortable, and affordable mass transportation system. The proposal for a BRT system in Jakarta was emerged in 2001. Governor of Jakarta at the time, Sutiyoso proposed four mass public transportation modes in Jakarta:.[24] The first Transjakarta line opened to the public on 15 January 2004.[25] [26] It was free for the first two weeks, after which commercial operations started on 1February 2004.

Integration

See also: Jak Lingko. Initially, different competing companies operated the various transit systems and had developed these rail and bus systems separately and at various times. As a result, many of these systems did not integrate well with the others, making transferring from system to system inconvenient for passengers. Then in December 2017, Jak Lingko was introduce as a public transport integration program designed to integrate payment and physical connection between transport modes in Jakarta. The integration includes BRT, Commuter rail, Light Metro, MRT, LRT, Airport rail link and local angkot (Mikrotrans).[27]
