JAKARTA - The special tariff policy of MRT Jakarta at Rp1 during the series of celebrations for the 499th Anniversary of the City of Jakarta has managed to boost the number of users of public transportation. PT MRT Jakarta (Perseroda) recorded as many as 567,633 customers using the service on 22, 27, and 28 June 2026.
The surge in passengers occurred during the three days of special tariffs. On June 22 or coinciding with Jakarta's Independence Day, the number of customers reached 202,861 people. Then as many as 195,545 customers were recorded using the MRT on June 27, followed by 169,227 customers on June 28.
Director of Operations and Maintenance of PT MRT Jakarta (Perseroda) Mega Tarigan assessed that the high number of users showed an increase in public trust in public transportation in Jakarta.
"We express our deepest appreciation to the public, both from within and outside the city, who have chosen to use public transportation to enliven the celebration of Jakarta's Anniversary," Mega said in a statement, Wednesday, July 1.
"For us, this enthusiasm reflects the public's trust in MRT Jakarta services and other public transportation modes as a safe, comfortable, and reliable mobility option," he continued.
In addition to recording a surge in the number of passengers, MRT Jakarta also recorded the pattern of people's travel during that period. The most frequent travel relationship occurred between Blok M BCA Station and Dukuh Atas BNI Station.
The high mobility at the two stations is inseparable from its position as an integration node with various other modes of transportation. Connectivity with feeder services, the presence of community activity centers, to the holding of various events also encourage increased passenger movement in the area.
The data also shows that the Dukuh Atas area is still the main point for intermodal transfers for people who are active in Jakarta. Meanwhile, the Blok M area continues to grow as one of the centers of community activities that attract high mobility flows.
Mega emphasized that MRT Jakarta will continue to strengthen the quality of services as the backbone of public transportation in the capital.
"As a Regional Owned Enterprise of the DKI Jakarta Province, MRT Jakarta continues to be committed to providing international standard services to support Jakarta as a Global City," he concluded.
