PT Kereta Commuter Indonesia (KCI) projects that it will produce 1.2 million passengers of the Jabodetabek KRL per day in 2024.

This target is supported by the ease of the community accessing the mass transportation.

KCI Vice President Corporate Secretary Anne Purba said the target was based on the number of passengers served before the COVID-19 pandemic.

"We predict that we will return to 2019, yes, if we have the highest volume, we predict that by 2024 there will be more than 1 million people, even 1.2 million people per day," he said at the 2023 and 2024 Christmas press conference at the KCI Office, Jakarta, Wednesday, December 20.

Anne said the projection was for operations on weekdays or weekdays. Meanwhile, for weekends or weekends, it is estimated at 800,000 per day.

Furthermore, Anne explained that this target is also based on the trend of increasing the number of Jabodetabek KRL passengers next year. Moreover, this mode of transportation has been integrated with various other modes of transportation such as the Jabodebek LRT.

"We'll see the upward trend, yes, then the operation of the integration LRT will cause an increase in passengers. Then there will also be more activities," he said.

Anne revealed that KCI's efforts to pursue this target were shortened the waiting time for train arrivals or headways.

That way, the capacity of passengers will also increase.

"We see that with us being able to reduce the headway, it is also one of the ways to increase transport capacity. Now Lenteng Agung Station already has a mall, then in Bxchange Bintaro it is things that increase people on KRL," he explained.
