Jakarta Train Schedule Adjustments Due to Large Gathering
Jakarta, Indonesia – Brace yourselves, travelers, as the bustling Gambir Station in Jakarta will experience some temporary schedule adjustments on Monday, December 2, 2024, to accommodate a large gathering at the National Monument (Monas).
PT KAI, Indonesia’s railway operator, announced that 10 long-distance trains departing from Gambir Station will briefly stop at Jatinegara Station, allowing passengers to board and disembark. This unexpected detour is a direct response to the anticipated high volume of people attending the annual 212 reunion at Monas, an event known to draw massive crowds.
"Stasiun Gambir only serves passengers of long-distance trains (KAJJ), so it doesn’t serve boarding and alighting passengers of local or commuter trains," clarified Ixfan Hendriwintoko, Manager of Public Relations at Daop 1 Jakarta, in a statement to the press.
Normally these trains bypass Jatinegara Station, but this adjustment will provide an alternative travel option for passengers and help minimize the impact of the large gathering on train schedules.
Here’s a list of the affected trains:
- Argo Semeru (KA 18A), departing Gambir at 6:20 AM
- Papandayan (KA 7048A), departing Gambir at 6:30 AM
- Muria (KA 14), departing Gambir at 7:00 AM
- Argo Bromo Anggrek (KA 2), departing Gambir at 8:20 AM
- Argo Cheribon (KA 26), departing Gambir at 8:30 AM
- Taksaka (KA 68), departing Gambir at 9:20 AM
- Pangandaran (KA 7028A), departing Gambir at 9:30 AM
- Sembrani (KA 62A), departing Gambir at 9:50 AM
- Argo Cheribon (KA 22A), departing Gambir at 10:10 AM
- Manahan (KA 80F), departing Gambir at 10:30 AM
As a reminder, KAI encourages all passengers to adjust their travel plans accordingly.
In addition to train schedule adjustments, KAI also warns of potential traffic diversions around major stations.
