The Board of Directors of PT Industri Kereta Api or PT INKA (Persero) accompany members of Commission VI of the DPR RI to try the LRT Jabodebek with the Harjamukti-TMII Station (PP) route and Harjamukti Ciracas Station (PP). This was done when Commission VI conducted a specific working visit to the review of the sophisticated train on Friday 27 January. In addition to INKA, the working visit was also accompanied by the Director of PT ADHI Karya (Persero) Tbk as well as a team from PT KAI (Persero). Also present is the Deputy Assistant for Logistics Services at the Ministry of SOEs Desty Arlaini.Financial Director, HR, and Risk Management as the President Director of PT INKA (Persero) Andy Budiman in his statement in Madiun, Saturday said with the operation of the Jabodebek LRT later, it would be evident to the global market that Indonesia is capable of producing high-tech trains. "It is part of the struggle and we are indeed planning to improve the competency of INKA friends. There are several markets waiting for INKA to be able to produce high-tech trains. Hopefully this LRT can operate, it will be an opportunity for us to be able to penetrate the global market for high-tech trains," said Andy Budiman. Operation Director of PT INKA (Persero) I Gede Agus Prayatna said that the Jabodebek LRT has received certification from the Directorate General of Railways (DJKA) for "Grade of Automation" (GoA) level 3 of train systems capable of loading 170 sitting and 566 standing people. In a "full load" or full state, DJKA has been able to transport passengers up to 1,300 people. Furthermore, we have already received an assignment for the MSA contract or'maintenance service agreement' for up to 5 years and we will also prepare it, said Gede. He explained, a series or "trainset" of Jabodebek LRT consists of six trains capable of loading 170 people and 566 standing. In a "full load" state it can transport passengers up to 1.

"Regarding TKDN or the level of domestic components, I convey that I ask to be helped again to raise enthusiasm so that wheels and bearing can be held domestically. That will be our homework if we are going to export trains to several countries, that it takes 6 to 7 months to import components," he said, quoted by Antara. Deputy Chairman of Commission VI DPR RI Martin Manurung said that the Jabodebek LRT would be a success story for Indonesia and complement the entire mode of transportation. The existence of the LRT is expected to be an intercity link in Jabodebek that is also connected to other existing modes of transportation. "Don't forget my records, also don't forget that this LRT can be connected to other modes of transportation in surrounding cities. Because several cities of course this is different, there are angkot, Transjakarta, and others. This 'challenge' in the future so that just like us abroad, we don't have to bother buying different tickets," said Martin.LRT Jabodebek is one of the government's strategic projects in order to provide convenience and speed on public transportation. The contract value of the project reaches Rp3.9 trillion with a total of 31 series or as many as 186 trains. Mass transportation in the form of Integrated Rel Cross (LRT) connecting several cities, including Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, and Bekasi (Jabodebek) involves a number of institutions, namely the Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub), PT Kereta Api Indonesia (PT KAI), PT LRT, PT InKA Train Industry (PT INKA), PT LEN Indust, and PT Adhi Karya. The Jabodebek LRT is targeted to operate in mid-2023.
