TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The soft launching of Light Rail Transit or LRT Jabodebek on Wednesday, July 12, 2023, is marked by a limited trial run for the public until August 15, 2023. The train fare is set at Rp1 per person.

During the trial run, the number of passengers is limited to 600 per day as the operator will only operate four train sets.
