The planned inauguration of the LRT Jakarta Velodrome-Manggarai route, scheduled for Wednesday, has been postponed. The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government decided to reschedule the event after a final evaluation of the overall implementation and to incorporate service enhancements for greater inclusivity.

Head of the DKI Jakarta Communication, Informatics, and Statistics Agency, Marulina Dewi, stated that the rescheduling is a procedural step without altering the development agenda for the LRT Jakarta's Kelapa Gading-Manggarai corridor. The provincial government and PT Jakarta Propertindo (Perseroda) remain committed to the planned stages of development.

"After conducting a final evaluation of the overall implementation activities, the DKI Provincial Government has decided to reschedule the inauguration of LRT Jakarta Kelapa Gading-Manggarai. We want the inauguration to be held after the refinement of several details in the facilities," Marulina said in a written statement on Wednesday.

The LRT Jakarta Kelapa Gading-Manggarai route spans 12.2 kilometers and includes 11 stations: Kelapa Gading, Boulevard Utara, Boulevard Selatan, Pulomas, Equestrian, Velodrome, Rawamangun, Pramuka, Matraman, Proklamasi, and Manggarai.

Previously, Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung announced that upon its official opening, the LRT Jakarta would operate daily from 5:00 AM to midnight. To ease the transition, a flat fare of Rp5,000 will be applied until October 2026, pending the official fare determination in conjunction with the DKI Jakarta Regional Representative Council.

"But what is clear is that for now, a flat fare of Rp5,000 will be used. Hopefully, by October, it will be decided how much the fare will be applied to LRT Jakarta as a whole, which we will arrange together," he added.
