UI-Lebak Bulus Route Leads Transjabodetabek Popularity

The latest figures from PT Transportasi Jakarta (Transjakarta) highlight a significant increase in the utilization of its Transjabodetabek services, with over 2 million passengers recorded in March and April 2026. This surge in ridership is a positive indicator that more people are embracing public transportation as a viable solution for their daily commutes, a trend that Republika.co.id views with optimism.

Notably, the D21 route, linking Universitas Indonesia (UI) to Lebak Bulus, has become the undisputed favorite among commuters. Its popularity is underscored by the impressive number of passengers it served, far exceeding other routes. This suggests a strong demand for efficient and accessible public transit options connecting residential areas and educational hubs with key urban centers.

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

Transjakarta's Head of Public Relations and CSR, Ayu Wardhani, expressed satisfaction with this trend, viewing it as a positive signal of public acceptance. The company's commitment to strengthening its services—ensuring they are safe, comfortable, and integrated—is crucial for further encouraging this shift. For residents in Jakarta's surrounding buffer zones, these improvements are vital for seamless connectivity to the capital, reflecting a broader effort to create a more integrated and sustainable urban mobility network.

Transjakarta will continue to strengthen services that are safe, comfortable, and integrated to facilitate the travel of people from the buffer zones to Jakarta and vice versa.
