MRT Jakarta No Longer Serve Payments Using GoPay, Ovo, Funds, And LinkAja

JAKARTA - PT MRT Jakarta has canceled its train travel payment services using the GoPay, Ovo, Dana, and LinkAja platforms. So, passengers can no longer buy MRT tickets using the four payment applications.

Corporate Secretary Division Head of PT MRT Jakarta, Ahmad Pratomo, said that this new policy will be implemented in early July 2023.

"PT MRT Jakarta (Perseroda) has adjusted the MRT Jakarta travel payment system code QR through the MRT-J application, namely AstraPay, i.Saku, and blu. GoPay, Ovo, Dana, and LinkAja cannot be used. This adjustment is valid as of July 1, 2023," Pratomo told reporters, Monday, June 26.

Meanwhile, the payment system still applies to multiple cruising cards (multitrips), single trip cards, and JakLingko. A number of bank electronic money cards such as BRIZZI, Flazz, e-money, tapcash, and JakCard, can still be used.

Pratomo explained that the termination of the MRT ticket payment service using GoPay, Ovo, Dana, and LinkAja was due to the completion of the cooperation contract with e-wallet partners.

Until now, continued Pratomo, and there has been no new agreement to extend cooperation from the four partners.

"In principle, MRT Jakarta continues to open the continuation of cooperation as long as it is in accordance with the provisions that have been running with previous cooperation," he said.

For information, MRT Jakarta operates at 05.00-24.00 WIB on weekdays and 05.00-24.00 WIB on weekends. The headway or interval for departure between trains that is enforced is 5 minutes during peak hours and 10 minutes on normal hours on weekdays, as well as 10 minutes on weekends.
