Jakarta's MRT Service: Almost Seamless Experience
The city of Jakarta continues to improve its public transportation system, with the recent achievement of 91% connectivity among various modes of transport. The Jakarta Metropolitan Transportation Agency (Dishub) has made significant strides in connecting MRT, LRT, Jaklingko, and TransJakarta services, making it possible for over 91.8% of the city's population to access these transportation options.
However, despite this progress, Dishub does not plan to adjust the fare structure for the MRT and LRT systems. According to Syafirn, head of the Jakarta Metropolitan Transportation Agency, there are no plans to increase the tariff for these services. The agency has conducted a thorough analysis and found that the current tariff is still affordable for passengers.
In fact, the recent subsidy provided by the government has ensured that the average cost per passenger for MRT tickets remains relatively low at around IDR 6,000. This calculation is based on the willingness to pay and ability to pay of users, which is within the acceptable range set by the agency.
The Jakarta Metropolitan Transportation Agency's commitment to maintaining affordable fares demonstrates its dedication to providing seamless services to its citizens. With an impressive 91.8% coverage rate, Jakarta's public transportation system continues to excel in connecting residents to various parts of the city.
