JAKARTA - PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) through the Jabodebek LRT invites children with disabilities to get acquainted with public transportation in order to commemorate National Children's Day 2026.
This activity is part of an effort to provide education and ensure that all children have the same opportunity to enjoy public transportation services.
The theme carried is Love Children, Protect and Build the Future. A total of 50 students and accompanying staff from SLB Negeri 11 Jakarta, SLB Negeri 3 Jakarta, SLB B Pangudi Luhur School, and SLB Santi Rama Fatmawati Jakarta took the journey using the Jabodebek LRT from Halim Station to Jatimulya Station, Thursday, July 23.
During the trip, participants were introduced to how to use the Jabodebek LRT, various service facilities, and safety education. The activity was also filled with dental health counseling by a pediatric specialist dentist with the Jabodebek LRT Health Team, as well as various educational activities in the Auditorium of the Jabodebek LRT Office.
Executive Vice President of the Jabodebek LRT Division Suryawan Putra Hia said the National Children's Day commemoration was an opportunity to expand access to learning through direct experience using public transportation.

"We want to educate our younger siblings, especially those with special needs, our hope is that they have the same rights as other children and they are also the future of this nation. So we give them the opportunity to enjoy the LRT," he said at the Sayang Anak, Protect and Build the Future event, at Jatimulya Station, Wednesday, July 23.
