Run 5 Kilometers, Take LRT Home: How Jakarta Introduces Public Transportation

Apart from sports activities, Aris conveyed a number of plans for developing Jakarta LRT services. The scope includes expanding the route to Sunter, Jakarta International Stadium (JIS), to Pantai Indah Kapuk (PIK).

He also mentioned developing the route to Manggarai and Dukuh Atas as part of the company's long-term plan. This statement does not yet detail the implementation schedule or funding.

PT LRT Jakarta is also preparing a trial plan for a Motor Vehicle Free Day in Kelapa Gading and finalizing a study of Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Areas.

According to Aris, the TOD study is directed at presenting an integrated residential area that is friendly, inclusive and sustainable. All of these agendas still need to be differentiated from services that are already available and can be used by the community.

Through the Road to Larata Run, an introduction to public transportation is carried out with direct travel experience. The impact on daily use of LRT still requires further monitoring.
