First time trying MRT in Jakarta! They started last March 2019 for North-South line as first phase. Yep I’m this happy that Jakarta has MRT (you’d understand if you know how’s the traffic here) and it’s super clean!! . . We have this 23.3k long of North-South line operated since March 2019. Although it has been roughly 40 years since the concept of the Jakarta MRT was first raised, however, when Joko Widodo became Governor of Jakarta in 2012 (assisted by Deputy Governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, better known as Ahok), the pair were eager to make a difference and pushed for realization of the long overdue Jakarta MRT project. . . It operates 285 trips daily from 5 AM until midnight, with 5 minutes headway. The charged fare for a trip on the MRT starts at Rp 3,000, increasing by Rp 1,000 for every station passed. A trip spanning the entire existing line in 2019 would cost a passenger Rp 14,000. The Jakarta MRT employs a cashless fare payment system. Other accepted forms of payment include electronic prepaid cards such as the JakLingko, E-Money (Mandiri), Brizzi (BRI), Tap Cash (BNI), Flazz (BCA) and JakCard (DKI). . . YAAAAAY for MRT! I know it’s late compared to other SE Asia countries and it’s a long process but hopefully this will reduce the heavy traffic jam in Jakarta. . . #mrtjakarta #lesstraffic #lovehatejakarta (at Stasiun MRT ASEAN) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6iEZTrHipqcOi2Y85CfH8fxKIPVjgPnRVjtkw0/?igshid=dj3frfreh4sq
