Juanda Station Crowded Due to Events at Istiqlal Mosque and Monas, Passenger Flow Temporarily Restricted

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Juanda Station in Central Jakarta was more crowded with KRL commuters than usual on Sunday (20/9/2026).

This was due to events at Masjid Istiqlal and the 2026 TNI Fair at Monas.

PT KAI Commuter (KCI) briefly limited passenger flow at Juanda Station because it is the closest station to both event locations, which caused a surge in passenger volume.

"The crowding at Juanda Station today is due to two events, namely the event at Masjid Istiqlal and the TNI Fair at Monas," said KAI Commuter Corporate Secretary VP Karina Amanda to Kompas.com on Sunday.

To anticipate the congestion, KCI imposed passenger flow management from 11:45 a.m. to 2:15 p.m. WIB.

Consequently, after 2:15 p.m. WIB, the restrictions at Juanda Station were lifted as passenger volume returned to normal.

"After 2:15 p.m. WIB, passenger flow at Juanda Station returned to normal," she explained.

Nonetheless, Karina urged KRL passengers to always follow the directions of staff, both at the station and inside the train.

Passengers were also reminded to maintain comfort for everyone by keeping the station and train clean.

"KAI Commuter will continuously update operational information about Commuter Line services on the C Access app and all KAI Commuter social media channels," she added.
