TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Transportation Ministry spokesperson Adita Irawati explained further regarding the access between transportation for LRT Jabodebek. According to Adita, Halim LRT Station will integrate with the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Train (KCJB) through a skybridge.
"We will ensure first that the infrastructure of KCJB has been established before operating [the skybridge] in Halim [LRT Station]," said Adita after the inauguration of LRT Jabodebek on Monday, August 28, 2023.
Adita explained that the construction for the skybridge has been finalized. However, the operation will wait for KCJB. "That's how it is supposed to be since [the skybridge] is integrated with LRT. In the future, people going to Bandung will stop at Halim and switch to KCJB [to continue their trip]," said Adita.
On Monday, August 28, 2023, the LRT Jabodebek was inaugurated by President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo. The light rail transit has 18 stations with two service lines, the Cibubur Line and the Bekasi Line.
Cibubur Line stretches for 24.3 kilometers across 12 stations from Harjamukti Station in Depok to Dukuh Atas Station in Jakarta. Meanwhile, the Bekasi Line stretches for 27.3 kilometers across 14 stations starting from Jati Mulya Station in Bekasi to Dukuh Atas Station in Jakarta.
Previously, Transportation Minister Budi Karya Sumadi mentioned that the process of integrating the track between the transportation modes is smooth sailing. Minister Budi with the Director General of Railways Risal Wasal inspected the integration process yesterday on Sunday, August 27, 2023.
During his inspection, Budi visited several stations using LRT Jabodebek such as Cawang Station and Cikoko Station. The minister ensured the comfort of the integrated transport and the officers' preparation to operate the LRT Jabodebek.
