Jakarta – The number of passengers on the Jabodebek LRT continues to rise and set a new record in October since it first started operating on August 28, 2023. In October 2024, the Jabodebek LRT served a total of 2,204,785 users, an increase of 13 percent or 251,690 users compared to September.
The average daily users of the Jabodebek LRT on weekdays recorded 81,327, an increase of 1.6 percent from the previous month. Meanwhile, weekends became even busier with an average of 41,784 users, surging by 18 percent.
In terms of operations, the Jabodebek LRT also showed better performance. Punctuality increased to 98.32 percent in October, slightly higher than the 98.31 percent recorded in September.
With the positive development in the number of users, the majority of the public hopes for an extension of the Jabodebek LRT route to the Bogor area. So when will that be realized?
LRT Jabodebek Public Relations Manager Mahendro Trang Bawono explained that the plan to extend the KRL Jabodebek route to Bogor is already in the discussion stage by the Ministry of Transportation.
“With the discussions, it has only reached the relevant ministries,” said Mahendro to the media at Ayana Mid Plaza, Jakarta, Thursday (28/11/2024).
However, they admitted that they have not yet received further information regarding the results of the discussion. Currently, they are still focused on improving the LRT Jabodebek service as the number of passengers increases.
“But we haven’t updated the results yet,” Mahendro briefly concluded the conversation.
