JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung has decided to make public transportation services managed by the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government free of charge during the 2026 New Year celebration.
Pramono explained that the free service of Transjakarta, MRT Jakarta, and LRT Jakarta was decided so that Jakarta residents could celebrate the new year with joy.
"We want everyone to enjoy it with a sense of happiness. But most importantly, the message tomorrow is to pass through the new year with happiness," said Pramono, Tuesday, December 30.
Pramono also ensured that transportation services in Jakarta during the New Year's Eve 2026 were operated to the maximum, such as during rush hours.
The operation pattern of the Jakarta MRT on the New Year's Eve celebration of 2026 on December 31, 2025, starts at 05.00 WIB until January 1, 2026 at 02.00 WIB with a flat headway of 10 minutes, except from 00.00-01.00 headway of 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, the operation of the Jakarta LRT on the New Year's Eve 2026 on December 31, 2025, starts at 05.30 WIB until January 1, 2026 at 02.00 WIB with a flat headway of 10 minutes.
"So we operate as usual during peak hours. So whoever goes through the New Year's Eve, they can still go home safely and well. I am sure that even though there is a mass pile-up, it will definitely be handled well," explained Pramono.
Head of the DKI Jakarta Transportation Service Syafrin Liputo explained that this free transportation service will start on December 31, 2025 from morning to January 1, 2026 evening.
However, Syafrin admitted that the mechanism for using free tickets would still be charged at Rp1 on each electronic money card or other payment device as a marker for using the service.
"In order to collect data, there will be a charge of Rp1," said Syafrin.
Therefore, Syafrin asked the public to prefer using public transportation instead of private vehicles when following the New Year's Eve celebrations at crowded points, considering that a number of roads will be closed.
"It is urged to the public who will attend the New Year's Eve 2026 celebrations on Jalan M.H Thamrin-Jalan Jenderal Sudirman-Lapangan Banteng-Jalan Panglima Polim and at tourist destinations, to use public transportation to minimize traffic density around the activity area," he said.
