Skybridge Still Under Construction, Here’s the Walking Route from KRL Station to Manggarai LRT

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Passengers transferring from Manggarai KRL Station to Manggarai LRT Station in South Jakarta must, for now, walk outside the station premises.

This is because the skybridge linking the two stations is not yet connected.

Jakpro's VP Corporate Secretary, Muhamad Alfin Rinaldyansyah, stated that the multimodal connectivity at Manggarai LRT Station is still under construction.

“The multimodal connectivity at Jakarta’s Manggarai LRT Station is in the final stages of completion. This connectivity will link three means of transportation — the LRT Jakarta, TransJakarta, and KRL — with a target completion by the end of September 2026,” Alfin said when confirmed by Kompas.com via WhatsApp on Friday (18/9/2026).

Kompas.com walked the route from the KRL Station to the Manggarai LRT Station on Friday.

The journey starts from Gate B of Manggarai KRL Station located on Jalan Sultan Agung.

KOMPAS.com/Muhammad Wildan Alghofari Road leading to Manggarai LRT Station from Manggarai KRL Station, Friday (18/9/2026)

From this gate, passengers walk along the pedestrian path in front of Manggarai KRL Station.

Afterward, passengers need to cross via the pedestrian bridge (Jembatan Penyeberangan Orang, JPO) over Jalan Sultan Agung near Pasaraya Manggarai.

Upon reaching the pedestrian bridge area, passengers walk straight ahead towards the elevator area, then turn left.

They then continue straight towards the TransJakarta Manggarai Bus Stop.

At this point, passengers must veer right to reach Manggarai LRT Station, while turning left leads to TransJakarta services.

Passengers need to descend stairs since the route to the LRT is not yet directly connected to Manggarai KRL Station via the skybridge.

From there, passengers cross the main road in front of Pasaraya Manggarai before continuing to Jalan Minangkabau Timur.

Passengers then follow the pedestrian path along Jalan Minangkabau Timur until reaching the entrance to Manggarai LRT Station.

The distance from KRL Station to Manggarai LRT Station is approximately 600 meters, taking around seven minutes on foot.

Upon Arriving in Front of Manggarai LRT Station

The entrance to Manggarai LRT Station is marked by an escalator leading inside the station.

After ascending the first escalator, passengers will find priority elevators available for those who need them.

Passengers opting for escalators continue inside the station and take another escalator to the next floor.

The ticket gate for tap-in is located on the second floor of Manggarai LRT Station.

After passing the gate, passengers need to take another escalator to the mezzanine floor before continuing to the third floor.

From the third floor, passengers use an escalator again to reach the fourth floor, which leads to the LRT platform access area.

Once on the platform, passengers wait for the Manggarai-Kelapa Gading LRT train.

With the skybridge still incomplete, passengers transferring from KRL to LRT should allocate extra time for the approximately 600-meter walk from Manggarai KRL Station to the LRT entrance.

Only Two Trainsets Available; Three Stations Not Yet Operational

The Manggarai-Kelapa Gading LRT route currently operates with only two trainsets running two round trips.

Meanwhile, three new LRT stations — Pramuka, Matraman, and Proklamasi — are not yet open to the public.

Alfin explained that the stations will be opened in phases based on technical assessments prioritizing passenger safety and comfort.

“The openings are indeed carried out gradually to ensure passenger comfort,” Alfin clarified.

Jakpro is also monitoring public enthusiasm and feedback during this initial operational phase.

“At this beginner stage, we continue to monitor community enthusiasm and feedback as part of strengthening our services,” Alfin added.
