User Trend Continues to Rise, LRT Jabodebek Serves 5.2 Million People in Early 2026

JAKARTA - Jabodebek LRT started 2026 with positive performance. From January 1 to February 28, 2026, this service has served 5.2 million passengers or an average of 88,000 passengers per day.

The figure is higher than the daily average in 2025 which is at the level of 78,900 passengers per day.

This increase reflects the trend of the continued growth in the use of public transportation in the Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, and Bekasi (Jabodebek) area.

Manager of Public Relations LRT Jabodebek, Bramantya Candrika, said that in February 2026, the number of users reached 2,530,000 passengers.

Travel activities on weekdays dominate with an average of 116,714 passengers per day, while on weekends it was recorded at 42,916 passengers per day.

"This pattern shows that the Jabodebek LRT is increasingly becoming part of the community's routine mobility, especially for work activities and daily travel," he said in an official statement, Tuesday, March 3.

Since it started operating on August 28, 2023 to February 28, 2026, the Jabodebek LRT has served a total of 64.3 million passengers.

On an annual basis, growth is seen to be consistent, from 4.6 million passengers in 2023, increasing to 21.1 million in 2024, and rising again to 28.8 million passengers in 2025.

In terms of service utilization, the average daily occupancy at the beginning of 2026 reached 32 percent, with a working day occupancy of 36 percent.

This figure shows an increasingly optimal occupancy rate, especially during high mobility periods.

The largest passenger movement was recorded at a number of stations such as Dukuh Atas, Harjamukti, Kuningan, Cikoko, and Pancoran.

Connectivity with other modes such as KRL, MRT, TransJakarta, Biskita, and regional connecting services also strengthens the ease of travel in an integrated manner.

Ease of access is also supported by an increasingly diverse non-cash payment system. In addition to banking electronic money cards and Multi Trip Cards (KMT), digital transactions through LinkAja, QRIS, and Access by KAI continue to show an increase, in line with the development of technology-based services that facilitate the process of transactions quickly and practically.

In terms of service, the Jabodebek LRT implements a dynamic pricing scheme (dynamic pricing) to provide flexibility for users during rush hours and outside rush hours.

Facility improvements are also being carried out through the optimization of gates, elevators, and escalators, the provision of informative signage, the strengthening of intermodal integration, and the improvement of cleanliness and comfort in station areas.

Bram said this growth was an indicator of increased public confidence in the service.

"We will continue to maintain operational reliability, improve service quality, and strengthen integration with other modes so that the public can experience safe, comfortable, and efficient travel experiences," said Bram.

In the future, the Jabodebek LRT will continue to evaluate and strengthen services, both in terms of operations, facilities, and customer experience, to support the increasingly dynamic and sustainable mobility of urban communities.
