Commuterline services resume normal operations in Bogor and Tangerang after incidents

Commuterline services on the Bogor and Tangerang routes have resumed normal operations after experiencing significant delays and disruptions.

The disruptions were caused by two separate incidents. On the Bogor line, a train (No. 1183, Bogor-Jakarta Kota) was delayed due to hitting a person on the tracks, which damaged the braking system. On the Tangerang line, a train (No. 1914A, Duri-Tangerang) was delayed after hitting a motorcycle at an unofficial crossing between Rawabuaya and Batu Ceper stations.

The impact of the incident caused 10 Bogor Commuterline services to be delayed by more than 1 hour and some were canceled, while for Tangerang Commuterline services, 8 services experienced delays of up to 48 minutes.

Leza Arlan, Manager of Public Relations at KAI Commuter, reported that the incidents led to 10 Bogor line services being delayed by over an hour or canceled, and 8 Tangerang line services being delayed by up to 48 minutes. To mitigate the delays, KAI Commuter implemented single-track operations on affected sections.

KAI Commuter expressed regret over the disruptions and emphasized the importance of adhering to railway safety laws. Arlan cited Railway Law No. 23 of 2027, which prohibits unauthorized individuals from being near railway tracks and requires road users to yield to trains at level crossings. "KAI Commuter strictly prohibits people who are not involved from being near the tracks and always prioritizes trains when crossing level crossings," Arlan stated.
