JAKARTA - The Jabodebek Integrated Cross Raya (LRT) tariff discount promo will end at the end of March. However, the plan is for this tariff discount to be extended until next April.
The Manager of Public Relations of the Jabodebek LRT Mahendro Trang Bawono said that there is a potential for a discount promo for tariffs to be extended. However, he said the decision would be submitted to the Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub).
"I think it will continue. But later confirmation will be with the Ministry of Transportation. It's the same as February and March," he told reporters in Jakarta, Tuesday, March 26.
Mahendro said that his party would communicate with the Ministry of Transportation regarding the extension of the tariff discount. He said the management would wait for the Ministry of Transportation's decision.
There is potential (extended). We also want to communicate with the Ministry as a regulator. So determining how much they want, we will communicate, we hope because we have not achieved the target, we hope it will still be extended," he explained.
Previously, it was reported that the Directorate General of Railways (DJKA) of the Ministry of Transportation extended the implementation of the Jabodebek LRT promo rate to a maximum of IDR 10,000.

Director of Traffic and Rail Transportation Arif Anwar said the Jabodebek LRT promo rate of a maximum of IDR 10,000 was extended until March 31, 2024.
He also said that the extension of the promo rate was in accordance with the Decree of the Minister of Transportation Number KM 67 of 2023 concerning Transportation Tariffs for People With Light Trains Integrated in the Jakarta, Bogor, Depok and Bekasi Regions to Implement Public Service Obligations.
"This promo is carried out by providing a Public Service Obligation (PSO) subsidy so that the tariff is more affordable for the community," said Arif in an official statement, Friday, March 1.
Furthermore, Arif said the maximum tariff of IDR 10,000 applies during non-busy hours or off peak hour on weekdays Monday to Friday.
