Gapeka 2025 Kicks Off: A New Era for Jakarta’s Commuter Line
February 1, 2025, marked the official implementation of the Gapeka 2025, a new train travel graph designed to enhance Jakarta’s rail services. The changes, which include adjustments to schedules adn increased trip frequencies, aim to improve mobility and reduce congestion during peak hours.
At Manggarai Station, the atmosphere was relatively calm on the first day of implementation. Crowds only formed as passengers hurried to board the KRL (Electric Rail Train) or switched platforms. Many passengers, like Najwa (23), were unaware of the schedule changes. “oh, I don’t know, I just found out even this,” she said, adding that she usually relies on Google Maps to check train schedules.rachel (18), a daily commuter between Jakarta and Bekasi, shared a similar sentiment. “I (normally) check the schedule, but never changed like that, because I was on holiday either, so I don’t know if there is a change now,” she explained.
What’s New in Gapeka 2025?
The Gapeka 2025 introduces notable adjustments to jabodetabek KRL services, airport trains, and the WHOOSH fast train. According to KAI Commuter’s President Director,Asdo Artriviyanto,the number of Commuter Line trips will increase,notably in high-traffic routes. “This step is taken to optimize services and reduce user density, especially during rush hours.Besides being also to increase user accessibility to commuter line services,” Asdo stated in a written release.
In the Greater Jakarta area, the total number of Commuter Line trips will increase by 15 trips starting February 1, 2025.This adjustment is expected to alleviate overcrowding and improve overall service efficiency.

Bogor Commuter Line Sees increased Trips and Faster Travel Times
The Bogor Commuter Line,a vital transportation link connecting Bogor and Jakarta,has recently undergone significant improvements. The number of daily trips has increased from 1,048 to 1,063, offering commuters more versatility and convenience. This enhancement is part of a broader effort to optimize the efficiency of the Commuter Line system, particularly on the Nambo-Depok cross.
One of the most notable changes is the increase in train speed. Previously, trains on the Nambo-Depok route traveled at 70 km/hour. Now, they operate at 80 km/hour, reducing travel time for thousands of daily passengers. “The increase in the speed of the trip is directly proportional to the travel time of the average commuter line trip,” according to the latest report.
this speed boost has already shown tangible results. the average travel time on the Bogor-Jakarta City crossing has decreased from 89 minutes to 85 minutes. For commuters who rely on this route daily, these four minutes can make a significant difference in their schedules.
Key Improvements at a Glance

These changes are part of a broader initiative to enhance public transportation in the region. By increasing the number of trips and optimizing speed, the Bogor Commuter Line aims to provide a more efficient and reliable service for its passengers.
