JAKARTA - PT KAI Commuter recorded that the number of users of the Jabodetabek KRL Commuter Line transportation service this weekend, Saturday, June 26, reached 231,984 people, a decrease of 20 percent compared to the same time last week, which was 287,624 people.

"Despite the decline, KAI Commuter continues to consistently implement health protocols both at stations and inside the KRL," said VP Corporate Secretary of KAI Commuter, Anne Purba in a written statement received in Jakarta.

Anne said, KAI Commuter also continues to carry out random antigen swab tests for prospective KRL users.

He said as many as 97 prospective KRL users took a random antigen test conducted at six stations, five of which were reactive.

The five people were prohibited from taking the KRL and reported to the local health center for further treatment.

"The random antigen test carried out by the KAI Commuter is carried out as an effort to protect people who still have to carry out their activities using KRL and officers in the field," he said.

He also appealed to people who still have to do activities outside their homes using KRL are those who really have urgent interests.

KRL users are also always encouraged to always apply health protocols both inside the KRL and in the station area.

KAI Commuter would also like to remind that since June last year we have issued a ban for children under the age of five (toddlers) to use KRL.

In addition, parents are advised not to bring their children, especially toddlers, to ride the KRL.

"Let's take care of our children's health by continuing to move from home where the environment and cleanliness can be fully monitored," he concluded.
