“This is something we need to keep pushing. Good public transportation is not just about building infrastructure but also about how every service connects to ease journeys from start to finish,” the Minister concluded.
The development of the LRT Jakarta network will continue beyond the Kelapa Gading-Manggarai route.
After this line becomes operational, the Jakarta Provincial Government will extend the network about 2 kilometers towards Dukuh Atas.
Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung said the construction of the Manggarai to Dukuh Atas segment is targeted to begin in early 2027.
This timetable comes after the official operation of the Kelapa Gading-Manggarai LRT route, with Manggarai Station projected to become a primary transportation hub in the capital.
“For the Manggarai to Dukuh Atas segment, the budget is already allocated. I have requested that construction start by January at the latest so that it is expected to be operational by August 2028,” he was quoted as saying on Friday (18/9/2026).
The construction is targeted to begin in 2027 and open in 2028.
If realized, this connection will further strengthen integration between LRT Jakarta, MRT, KRL, TransJakarta, LRT Jabodebek, and the Airport Train.
Dukuh Atas will also become a major public transportation integration hub in Jakarta.
With more transport modes connected, the public will have more alternatives for planning trips without relying entirely on private vehicles.
Minister of Transportation Dudy affirmed that the Ministry will continue to support urban mass transit development, including ensuring the safety and operational feasibility of rail services.
“We hope LRT Jakarta can be optimally utilized by the public. The more integrated the public transport network, the easier travel becomes,” Dudy said.
“Ultimately, safe, secure, comfortable, reliable, and integrated public transportation supports both mobility and productivity for the community,” the Minister concluded.
