JAKARTA - Jabodebek LRT Public Relations Manager Kuswardoyo confirmed the disturbance that occurred at the Jabodebek LRT this morning. However, now it is back to normal.

Kuswardoyo explained that the disruption of the Jabodebek LRT power outage occurred due to the power substation that died at Halim Station.

Currently, the disturbance has been repaired by Adhi Karya.

"The disturbance that occurred in Halim where there was a power outage was caused by an electrical TPPS disturbance, resulting in an LRT operational disruption," he told reporters, Wednesday, August 30.

"Currently the train is running normally and we have coordinated with Adhikarya who is responsible for the TPPS," he continued.

Not only power outages, said Kuswardoyo, Jabodebek LRT operations were also disrupted due to disturbances in the train series. The train that experienced the disturbance had been moved to the Jabodebek LRT Depot for repairs.

"We have transferred it to Dipo for an evaluation by the INKA team and KAI what caused the disturbance. The maintenance of the LRT facilities is still under INKA's responsibility, so we coordinate the handling of these facilities with the INKA Team," he explained.

For this incident, Kuswardoyo said the management of the Jabodebek LRT asked all affected users.

"We apologize for the disturbance that occurred on the LRT trip today and caused discomfort for Jabodebek LRT users," he said.
