T Kereta Commuter Indonesia (KCI), the operator of Jakarta's Commuter Line rail service, introduced its Go Green program to the public on Tuesday at Sudirman Station in Menteng, Central Jakarta.

Planned for implementation starting in 2020, the program applies environmentally friendly concepts for conserving power and water, as well as managing waste, at each of the 80 Commuter Line stations in Greater Jakarta.

“Today, along with PT KCI, we are proud to launch environmentally friendly stations. Three stations are being launched today, [...] Sudirman, Klender and Jurangmangu,” said Noer Adi Wardojo, who heads the environment and forestry standards center at the Environment and Forestry Ministry.

The three stations were chosen to pilot the Go Green program, because they were determined to have the capacity to adopt the initiative after evaluating all 80 stations, said KCI president director Wiwik Widayanti.

She added that the stations also "represent each line” of the rail service, with Jurangmangu Station representing the Rangkas Line, Klender Station the Bekasi Line and Sudirman representing the Central Line.

The "green station' concept was adopted from the ministry’s Public Facilities Service Standards (SPM-FP), which defines the concept as being efficient in the use of energy, water and materials, as well as having a waste management system in place.

Noer said that KCI had fulfilled this standard, while Wiwik added that Sudirman Station was accordingly "energy efficient".
