The Jakarta Light Rail Transit (Jakarta LRT) (Indonesian: Lintas Rel Terpadu Jakarta, lit. "Jakarta Integrated Rail Line") is one of the light rail systems in Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia. It is being implemented by the Jakarta provincial government.[3] The first phase of the LRT, from Velodrome to Pegangsaan Dua, began commercial operations on 1 December 2019.[4]

Jakarta LRT is operated by PT LRT Jakarta, a subsidiary of municipally-owned property and infrastructure company PT Jakarta Propertindo (Jakpro).

Background[]

The Jakarta light rail transit project aims to tackle Jakarta's high road traffic congestion.[5] The rolling stock comes from Hyundai Rotem from South Korea. Each trainset consists of two cars and will be able to carry 270 to 278 passengers. There will be a total of 16 cars.[1] Platform screen doors by ST Engineering Electronics will be installed at all stations.

A public trial run began on 11 June 2019 between Boulevard Utara and Velodrome stations, with free admission to registered ticket holders.[6]

Construction of Route 1 started on 22 June 2016. The first six kilometers of the route connecting the Kelapa Gading Depot to Velodrome Station was 29.61% complete by 26 June 2017. It was expected to be operational before the 2018 Asian Games.[9] However, this did not happen as construction is not yet finished and the Indonesia Asian Games Organizing Committee (INASGOC) considered that buses would be more effective in transporting the athletes.[10][11]

The test run for the LRT was initially scheduled for 10 August, however was delayed to 15 August 2018. Phase 1 was planned to begin operation in February, 2019.[12] After several delays, the line opened for free public trial run from July to late November 2019. Commercial operations began on 1 December 2019.[13][14]
