KAI Commuter announced that its Commuter Line services for the Bogor and Tangerang routes have resumed normal operations. The disruption occurred on Thursday, August 20, 2026, due to separate incidents that affected train systems.
The travel service of Commuter Line Bogor No. 1183, route BogorโJakarta Kota, which was hit by a person and caused damage to the braking system, has resumed service towards Manggarai Station.
For the Bogor line, service on train number 1183 (BogorโJakarta Kota) was delayed after an individual was hit, causing damage to the braking system. This incident led to delays for approximately 10 Commuter Line Bogor services, some exceeding an hour, and resulted in cancellations. Similarly, the Tangerang line experienced delays when train number 1914A (DuriโTangerang) collided with a motorcycle at an unofficial crossing between Rawabuaya and Batu Ceper stations. This caused eight Commuter Line Tangerang services to be delayed by up to 48 minutes.
The travel service on Commuter Line Tangerang No.1914A, route DuriโTangerang, which was hit by a motorcycle at an unofficial crossing between Rawabuaya โ Batu Ceper stations, has returned to normal operations.
To mitigate the impact, KAI Commuter implemented operational adjustments, including single-track operations on specific segments for both lines. Manager of Public Relations for KAI Commuter, Leza Arlan, expressed regret over the disruptions, emphasizing that these incidents were caused by individuals disregarding safety regulations. Arlan cited Law No. 23 of 2027 concerning Railways, which prohibits unauthorized persons from being near railway tracks and mandates that road users yield to trains at level crossings.
KAI Commuter deeply regrets this delay because the Commuter Line operational journey was disrupted by a collision caused by a person on the railway tracks, and road users who did not give way to the train.
KAI Commuter reiterated its firm stance against unauthorized individuals on or near the tracks and urged the public to prioritize train passage at level crossings. The company aims to ensure the safety and punctuality of its services while reminding passengers and the public of their responsibilities in maintaining railway safety.
According to Law No. 23 of 2027 concerning Railways, it clearly prohibits anyone without permission from being around the railway track area and also regulates road users to always give way to trains.
