YOGYAKARTA - The Jabodebek LRT has officially operated and lifted passengers since last Monday. At the same time, there are still many complaints from residents, one of which is the Jabodebek LRT travel time which has not been maximized.
Some residents complain on social media X about LRT travel times that are not yet optimal. Some have complained about the train running for more than an hour from Cibubur to Dukuh Atas. Others complained about the train waiting time which reached more than 20 minutes.
The Manager of Public Relations for the Jabodebek LRT Division, Kuswardojo, said that at this time the travel time was not optimal because of the length of waiting time for the train. This takes place because the Jabodebek LRT has not been able to fully operate its fleet.
Of the 27 trainsets that have been operated to date, only 12 trainsets have been allowed to run. As a result, from the plan of 434 trips per day, only 158 trips can operate.
For him, this matter took place because the Jabodebek LRT Train Travel Graphics (Gapeka) were only allowed to operate as many as 158 trips. Gapeka was issued by the Ministry of Transportation as the main regulator of the railway.
"That's because we are not fully operational yet, from the plan for 27 new trainsets, 12 trainsets. Why? Because according to the Train Travel Graphs that have been approved by the Ministry of Transportation, 12 trainsets have been allowed. So the waiting period is 4-8 minutes, at this time it is still 20 minutes because the number of trips is still small," explained Kuswardojo when met at Dukuh Atas LRT Station, Central Jakarta, Tuesday (29/8/2023).
"So automatically the waiting period is still 20 minutes, which causes a small amount of frequency and maybe a long travel time," he continued.
So far, his party and the Directorate General of Railways of the Ministry of Transportation are still monitoring the situation in the field. If the passenger capacity exceeds the needs of Gapeka, the graph will gradually be replaced and the trip will be added.
"The Ministry of Transportation will review later, if the capacity has exceeded, the Ministry of Transportation will add more trips, the trainset will be added again. The train is running, there is a graph, if you want to add it, you must change the existing graph or the trip is added," explained Kuswardojo.
He is optimistic that Gapeka can be added in the near future, the reason is that the enthusiasm of the residents is quite large for the Jabodebek LRT mode. So far, on the initial day of the operation, there were approximately 5 thousand passengers transported, while only operating from 14.00 WIB.
"Yesterday it wasn't just one day of operation, there were more than 5 thousand passengers. If today was just this morning from East Java, the occupancy was estimated to be 75% filled on the way," said Kuswardojo.
"Hopefully it can be replaced as soon as possible and added the graph," he concluded.
