T KAI Commuter Jabodetabek (KCJ) plans to launch an electric commuter train service between Rangkasbitung and Tanahabang in early February.
"We are optimistic about starting the operation of the Rangkasbitung-Tanahabang route next month," said KCJ president director Muhammad N Fadhila, as quoted by new agency Antara on Friday.
Previously, passengers from Rangkasbitung heading to Jakarta would use local trains. Many are expected to switch to the new commuter line service, which will initially run two times a day.
Fadhila said his company was finalizing the station facilities for the new service, such as electronic gates, ticket booths and passenger bridges. (dmr)
