Tangerang

President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) opened his voice about the many complaints related to the community Greater Jakarta LRT the disruption has not been commercially operational for a week. Jokowi said that people should be proud of domestic products, this is mass transportation such as the Greater Jakarta LRT.

Moreover, according to him, this is the first time that Indonesia has the first LRT Jabodebek which is controlled without a driver.

“That this is the first time we have LRT without a driver, everything is operated operationally control center. So I repeat again, if we don’t dare to use domestic products in this case the LRT, when are we going to try? When will we dare to start?” he said after holding the opening of the HIPMI National Working Meeting at ICE BSD, Tangerang, Thursday (31/8/2023).

Jokowi emphasized that if there were any deficiencies during the operation and design, an evaluation with the relevant companies was required. In this case Jokowi alluded to PT INKA as the manufacturer of the Jabodebek LRT train and operator of PT KAI.

“That there is a deficiency, yes it is corrected, that is a deficiency, we will evaluate it. And evaluate it from INKA from KAI,” he said.

Jokowi also compared Greater Jakarta LRT with trains like those owned by France, namely Train à Grande Vitesse (TGV) and Japanese trains, the Shinkansen. According to him, the sophistication of the two trains also went through a long process.

“But if we don’t dare to think like TGV, the Shinkansen will immediately become good. Wow, it took years, decades,” he said firmly.

For this reason, Jokowi appealed to the public not tobully domestic products in this case mass transportation such as the Greater Jakarta LRT.

“Don’t-bully our own product. Who else wants to be proud if we don’t use it. Isn’t that right?” he insisted.

“Sometimes there is a traffic jam, yes fix it, if there is a design flaw, fix it like that,” he concluded.

Previously, the Jabodebek LRT again reaped complaints. Yesterday, Wednesday (30/8) morning at around 08.00 WIB, the Jabodebek LRT trip was reportedly stuck at Cikunir 2 Station.

One of the LRT train users, Zulfi, admitted that he had been waiting for the train for quite a long time at Cikunir 1 Station. He said he had been waiting for the train on the platform for half an hour but the train never came. He also mentioned that passengers had piled up on the platform.

He admitted that he received news that the train was stuck at West Bekasi Station because there was a problem at Cikunir 2 Station.

Stuck in West Bekasi headed for Cawang, because there was a disturbance in Cikunir 2, he said. I’m waiting for the train at Cikunir 1, it’s been 30 minutes here, the passengers have stack in Cikunir 1,” Zulfi told detikcomWednesday (30/8/2023).

Then, the Senior Manager of Public Relations and Representative Office of PT INKA Agung Dwi Cahyono also opened his voice about the problems that occurred with the Jabodebek LRT train. Agung admitted that technical problems still often occur at the doors of INKA’s LRT trains.

This happens because the LRT is designed to use the GoA 3 system, everything on the train functions and is monitored by sensors, the door is one of them.

“In the course of this operation there are still disturbances in the technical conditions of the doors which are being evaluated and repaired, such as the lack of centricity of the mechanical system due to vibration, unresponsive limit switches,” said Agung to detikcomThursday (31/8/2023).
