VP Corporate Secretary of KAI Commuter Anne Purba said that her party imposed conditions and conditions on the journey of the latest Urban Commuter Line and Commuter Line Agglomerations in all service routes in accordance with the Circular (SE) of the Ministry of Transportation.

The SE in question is SE Number 17 of 2023 concerning Health Protocols for Travelers by Rail Transportation during the COVID-19 Endemic Transition Period.

"In accordance with the SE, starting June 12, 2023, all Commuter Line travel users are allowed not to wear masks if they are in good health and are not at risk of contracting or transmitting COVID-19," he said in an official statement, Monday, June 12.

KAI Commuter, said Anne, also recommends all users to vaccinate against COVID-19 until the second booster or fourth dose, especially for people who have a high risk of transmitting COVID-19.

However, continued Anne, for health together with KAI Commuter, we still urge all users to continue to wear masks properly and correctly during trips and in station areas to avoid the spread of other disease viruses.

"Especially if the user is unwell or at risk of COVID-19, such as coughing and flu," he said.

KAI Commuter also continues to invite all users to continue to apply health protocols and healthy lifestyles, while still carrying hand sanitizers or washing hands with soap and running water regularly, especially if they have been in contact with objects used simultaneously.

To ensure the health of its users, KAI Commuter routinely cleans after the train series has finished serving. Cleaning is also carried out by On Trip Cleaning Service officers while on train trips. We do this as an effort to realize a healthy, safe and comfortable Commuter Line journey," he said.

Anne said KAI Commuter expects the cooperation of all Commuter Line users to continue implementing health protocols while traveling or in the station area.

"It is hoped that by continuing to apply health protocols and healthy living behavior, we can create healthy, safe and comfortable transportation and can continue to move productively," concluded Anne.
