KRL Commuter Line Expansion 2026: New Routes & Electrification

KRL Commuter Line Today

The KRL Commuter Line is the backbone of public transport in Greater Jakarta (Jabodetabek), serving over 1.3 million passengers daily across multiple routes. In 2026, the network is undergoing its biggest expansion in decades.

Current routes include the Red Line (Jakarta Kota-Bogor), Yellow Line (Jakarta Kota-Depok), Green Line (Tanah Abang-Serpong), and Blue Line (Tanah Abang-Cikarang). But major changes are coming.

New Routes Coming in 2026

1. Jakarta-Cikampek Line

Extension of the Blue Line from Cikarang to Cikampek, adding approximately 30 km of new track. This will connect Bekasi Regency to the eastern outskirts of Jakarta. The route requires electrification of the Cikarang-Cikampek corridor at a cost of approximately Rp 1.28 trillion.

2. Jakarta-Sukabumi Line

Extension of the Red Line from Bogor to Sukabumi, adding approximately 50 km of new track. This will provide direct commuter access to the popular hill station city of Sukabumi. Also requires electrification at similar cost to the Cikampek line.

3. Jakarta-Rangkasbitung Line

Extension of the Green Line from Serpong to Rangkasbitung in Banten province. This will serve the growing residential areas of South Tangerang and Lebak Regency.

JIS Station: New North Jakarta Hub

The Jakarta International Stadium (JIS) station opened on June 22, 2026, as part of the Pink Line (Jakarta Kota-Tanjung Priok). Located between Ancol and Tanjung Priok stations, it serves:

• Jakarta International Stadium events
• Ancol entertainment district
• Residential areas of North Jakarta
• Transjakarta routes 12P and 14B
• Mikrotrans JAK 90 and JAK 120

Currently operating with one platform, the station will be developed into a permanent facility within approximately one year. Operating hours extend to 21:30 WIB, with extensions possible during major events.

Electrification Program

Danantara (Indonesia's sovereign wealth fund) has mandated PT KAI to complete electrification of five major corridors in 2026:

• Cikarang-Cikampek (eastern corridor)

New Rolling Stock

KAI has allocated Rp 8.7 trillion for the procurement of 30 new trainsets to increase capacity from 1.3 million to 1.5-1.6 million passengers daily by 2030. The new trainsets will feature:
