First Time Transjakarta Ridership Increases Since 2012

In 2016, the number of Transjakarta users reached 123.73 million passengers, a 20 percent increase compared to 2015. This is the first increase since 2012. As is known, the number of passengers using Jakarta's integrated transportation services reached its peak in 2011. However, after that, it continuously declined until 2015.

Improved services and an increase in the fleet size led to the increase in users of this public transportation mode in Jakarta. In addition, the implementation of the odd-even license plate policy on main roads and increasing congestion in Jakarta encouraged some people to switch to using Transjakarta.

Since October 2016, Transjakarta has served 12 million passengers per month, or approximately 420,000 per day. This is an increase compared to 2015, when it only served 290,000 passengers per day. Currently, Transjakarta serves 80 routes, also an increase from the previous year's 39 routes.
