Wait for Kemenhub's Signal, Will Jabodetabek KRL Fare Increase?

Tunggu Aba-Aba Kemenhub, Tarif KRL Jabodetabek Bakal Naik?

"Wait for the Announcement from the Ministry of Transportation, Will the Fare for Jabodetabek Commuter Train Increase?"

Dream - President Director of KAI Commuter, Asdo Artriviyanto, revealed plans to increase the fare for the Commuter Line or KRL Jabodetabek. The implementation of the new fare policy still needs to wait for directions from the regulator, namely the Directorate General of Railways of the Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub). In operating the KRL Commuter, KAI only acts as an operator carrying out the directions and policies of the government, particularly Kemenhub.

"Plan for the Increase of KRL Jabodetabek Fare"

"The issue of fare increases will be determined by the government. There will be an increase, yes. Wait for the exact date," said Asdo at the KAI Commuter Office in Jakarta, quoted from Merdeka.com, Thursday, January 11, 2024."

"It is still at the regulator level, because we are only operators. If our system follows the regulator's guidelines, because we are PSO (public service obligation), as determined by the government," said Asdo.

Wait for Kemenhub's Signal, Will Jabodetabek KRL Fare Increase?

Asdo explained that the KRL fare has not been adjusted for eight years. The last increase in Commuter train fares was carried out by the government in 2016. Although there are plans to increase the fare and it is still being discussed by the Ministry of Transportation, Asdo is unwilling to disclose the amount of the new Jabodetabek KRL fare. Considering that the operation of KRL is a government assignment.

The translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags is as follows: "This means that all operation costs are covered by the government. So, KCI operates government-owned trains as assigned. Therefore, the financing, including the cost of infrastructure maintenance, plus a 10 percent margin, is under the PSO system."
According to the President Director of KAI Commuter, Asdo Artriviyanto.

"Although there has been no government decision, Asdo ensures that the current KRL service continues to run as usual. The reason is that part of the operational is supported by the government. 'So we are not worried. If we want to ride, just ride, because we will also be replaced by the government,' he said."

In a separate occasion, Minister of Transportation (Menhub) Budi Karya Sumadi initiated the implementation of a cross-subsidy scheme. This scheme allows wealthy individuals to pay tickets according to the economic price to subsidize the less fortunate group.

PT KAI (Persero) as the parent company of KCI is still waiting for the results of the discussion with the Ministry of Transportation as the regulator. "As operators, we have not yet decided, it is still under discussion at the Ministry of Transportation," said the CEO of PT KAI (Persero), Didiek Hartantyo, to Liputan6.com some time ago. When asked further, he did not want to speak further about the process of separating the KRL tariff. "It is still being studied," he said briefly.
