Transjabodetabek Fares to Be Adjusted Due to Large Subsidies

Jakarta's provincial government plans to adjust fares for several Transjabodetabek routes, citing excessively large subsidies provided for public transport to the capital's buffer zones. Governor Anung announced that the fare adjustment will be decided soon, affecting routes like the one connecting Blok M to Soekarno-Hatta Airport.

“

For the Blok M TJ fare, Transjabodetabek, if it's not TJ, but Transjabodetabek, we will decide soon.

Anung explained that the decision to adjust fares is due to the significant burden of subsidies on the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government. While the exact new fares have not been determined, the governor indicated that a decision on multiple routes requiring adjustments would be made in the coming months.

“

In these months, we will decide on several routes, not just Blok M to Soekarno-Hatta, but also other Transjabodetabek routes that need adjustment because the subsidy is indeed too large.

Currently, Transjakarta operates 18 Transjabodetabek routes, with a standard fare of Rp 3,500. Data from Transjakarta shows that these services saw a substantial increase in ridership, exceeding 2 million passengers in March and April 2026. The D21 route, linking Universitas Indonesia to Lebak Bulus, emerged as the most popular among the 18 routes.

This is a positive signal that the public is increasingly open to switching to public transport as a solution for daily mobility.
