JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung will make public transportation services free in Jakarta, including Transjakarta, MRT Jakarta, and LRT Jakarta on Monday, April 21, 2025.

This free public transportation service to commemorate Kartoni Day is specifically for women. Head of the DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency, Syafrin Liputo, said that a special lane or gate would be prepared for women when entering a bus stop or station.

"The mechanism for later is at every bus stop and a station a special gate is prepared for women so that women can directly cross the gate and then get free service directly," said Syafrin in the CFD Sudirman-Thamrin area, Central Jakarta, Sunday, April 20.

Especially at non-BRT Transjakarta (bus rapid transit) with passengers who do not go up and down at bus stops but bus stops, there will be a women's special tap machine to make the Transjakarta ticket free.

"Gratis will increase Jakarta's public transportation service for women starting tonight, precisely at 24.00 until April 21 at 23.59.59," explained Syafrin.

Then, Pramono also made Transjakarta, MRT Jakarta, and LRT Jakarta free for all people on April 24 or to coincide with National Transportation Day.

"April 24, there will also be free transportation services for the entire community," he said.

To anticipate the surge in passengers during the vaccination of public transportation services, the DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency and public transportation BUMDs will adjust queues and shorten the headway or waiting time for the arrival of Transjakarta buses and the Jakarta MRT and Jakarta LRT trains.

"So that people who will use this service later, at least it will be orderly. Because usually the services are free, so massive people use them. So the queues are arranged in such a way," he added.
