Meanwhile, on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, the train will operate normally without special division. This step was taken to further improve the comfort and safety of female users in using public transportation.

Through our evaluation and the feedback we received from the public, we decided to expand this policy to provide greater benefits,” said Executive Vice President of LRT Jabodebek, Mochamad Purnomosidi.

He continued, “We hope this policy can further increase the trust and comfort of female users in choosing LRT Jabodebek as the main mode of transportation.”
