JAKARTA - The Electric Rail Train (KRL) KA 1481 bound for Bekasi-Jakarta Kota experienced a crash and operational problems at the Kampung Bandan Station on Friday, 09.40 WIB, resulting in travel disruption for passengers.

Due to these obstacles, PT Kereta Commuter Indonesia (KAI Commuter) implemented the KRL trip operation pattern engineering with three arrangements, namely for the KRL Loop Line from Bogor to Jatinegara, the trip only reaches Angke Station.

Then, the KRL from Bekasi heading to Jakarta Kota through Pasar Senen, travels only to Kemayoran Station. The KRL from the direction of Jatinegara to Bogor departs directly from the direction of Jatinegara, heading for Manggarai Station, and so on towards Bogor.

"For the current position of KRL that will pass at the station, users can access the KRL Access application, including to monitor the density at a number of stations," VP Corporate Communications KAI Commuter Anne Purba when confirmed via written message, reported by Antara, Friday, October 30.

PT KAI Commuter apologizes for the operational constraints on this trip. Currently, officers from PT KAI and KAI Commuter are already on site. The users on the train have also been assisted by officers to go to the Kampung Bandan Station platform.

Passengers can access the KRL Access application to find out the current position of the KRL that will pass at the station, including to monitor the density at a number of stations.

In addition, KAI Commuter urges KRL users to always prioritize safety and not force themselves to board a train that is full.

"Users are urged to always follow directions from officers regarding safety and continue to implement the applicable health protocols at stations and KRL," said Anne.
