The Jakarta Light Rapid Transit [3] or Jakarta LRT (Indonesian : Lintas Rel Terpadu Jakarta, lit. "Jakarta Integrated Rail Line") is one of the light metro [4] systems in Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia. It is conceived and built by the Jakarta provincial government. [5] The first phase of the LRT, from Velodrome to Pegangsaan Dua, began commercial operations on 1 December 2019. [6]

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

History

Background

The proposed LRT system in Jakarta was initially conceived as an alternative to the suspended Jakarta Monorail construction project. The suspension of the monorail project was due to the objection of the Governor of Jakarta, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, to the construction of the monorail depot above the Setiabudi Reservoir. This decision was made to avoid a recurrence of the 2013 Jakarta Flood incident that occurred due to the collapse of the Latuharhari Embankment. The monorail project was ultimately cancelled as the investors failed to meet the advanced requirements set by the Jakarta Provincial Government. Consequently, the LRT project became the priority, with Governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama expressing his hope for greater consistency and fewer setbacks compared to the discontinued monorail project. [7] [8] [9]

The plan for the construction of the Jakarta LRT refers to Presidential Regulation Number 99 of 2015 concerning the Acceleration of the Implementation of Public Transportation on the Special Capital Region of Jakarta Province. As part of the preparation for the 2018 Asian Games, the Jakarta LRT was designated as a complementary public transportation system, and to facilitate its construction, the Governor of Jakarta directly appointed PT Jakarta Propertindo and PT Pembangunan Jaya for the project. [10] [11]

Phase 1

The groundbreaking of the Jakarta LRT was previously planned to be held in conjunction with the Greater Jakarta LRT groundbreaking in September 2015. The Jakarta LRT groundbreaking was held on 22 June 2016, coinciding with the 489th Anniversary of the City of Jakarta. [12] [13] In December 2016, PT Wijaya Karya was appointed as the contractor for the LRT construction project worth Rp5.29 trillion (around US$347.6 million). [14] The construction itself only started in early 2017 after the land preparation process had been completed. [15]

The Jakarta LRT project seeks to address the issue of heavy traffic congestion on the city's roads. [16] The rolling stock comes from Hyundai Rotem from South Korea which was first arrived from the Tanjung Priok Port on April 13, 2018. [17] 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. To build the site, BCA had disbursed 2.78 trillion rupiahs of their syndicated loans. [18]

The completion target of the Jakarta LRT construction before the 2018 Asian Games was not met, resulting in the limited operation of the LRT during the competition as a trial run. [19] The limited trial run was carried out starting August 15, 2018. [20] [21]

A full public trial run began on 11 June 2019 between Boulevard Utara and Velodrome stations, with free admission to registered ticket holders. [22] Since commercial operation began in December 2019, the "flagging" system has seen falling ridership, with an average of 4,364 passengers per day. [23]

Phase 1B

The groundbreaking for phase 1B was held on 30 October 2023. [24] PT Waskita Karya was appointed as the constructor for phase 1B. [24] The project would serve as an extension to the already operational Phase 1 line from Velodrome to Pegangsaan Dua. [25] The plan is to build 6.4 km of new tracks and five new stations; Pemuda Rawamangun, Pramuka BPKP, Pasar Pramuka, Matraman, and Manggarai. [25] Phase 1B cost an estimated Rp5.5 trillion, all were to be funded via Jakarta's own provincial budget. [25] The Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta, Heru Budi Hartono, said that Phase 1B will run from 2024 to 2026, with construction from Rawamangun to Pramuka stations finishing in September 2024 and the rest following in 2026.

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. [28] 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. [29] [30]

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. [31] After several delays, the line opened for free public trial run from July to late November 2019. Commercial operations began on 1 December 2019. [32] [33]
