Today, Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan visited Prasetio at his office to discuss the MRT tariff. Yesterday, the Jakarta DPRD agreed to set the MRT tariff at Rp8,500 per 10 kilometer, while the LRT has a flat rate of Rp5,000.
The MRT tariff will also be adjusted to the distance between each stop. The first station entry will cost Rp3,000, and the final tariff will depend on the destination.
