State-owned railway company PT Kereta Api Indonesia (PT KAI) is set to open a public trial of the Greater Jakarta LRT on Wednesday.
The trial run will last until Aug. 15, and full public service is set to begin on Aug. 18, the company has said.
During the trial, the LRT will offer a total of four trips a day stopping at three stations: Dukuh Atas Station in Jakarta; Harjamukti Station in Cibubur, West Java; and Jatimulya Station in Bekasi, West Java.
Each trip will be limited to 150 passengers, meaning the LRT will serve a maximum of 600 people per day during the trial.
Prospective passengers must register through a link posted on the Greater Jakarta LRT’s social media accounts, where they will be asked to provide their personal information and choose a date to book a seat. The registration was set to open on Monday.
Tickets will each cost Rp 1, less than a hundredth of a United States penny, for the one-month trial period, and passengers will be charged between Rp 5,000 (33 US cents) and Rp 25,000 once the LRT begins full operations.
