Summary
Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia has a population of 11,634,100 million people over an area of 661 square km. The metropolitan area of Greater Jakarta has a population of 35.4 million people over an area of 4,384 square km.Jakarta Population 2025 https://worldpopulationreview.com/cities/indonesia/jakarta 2025-05-07 worldpopulationreview.com Demographia 2023 Demographia World Urban Areas https://www.demographia.com/db-worldua.pdfAs of today, the metropolitan area has a variety of public transport modes ranging from a commuter rail system known as the KRL commuter services that is made up of 6 different lines over a length of 293 km with 79 stations in total covering major suburbs like Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi which are all known as the Jabodetabek region including the Jakarta CBD itself.Jakarta KRL Commuter Guide https://jakartatravelguide.com/jakarta-krl-commuter-guide/ 2025-05-07 Jakarta Travel Guide en-US saleh tahir Tahun Ini, KRL Commuter Line Bidik 1,2 Penumpang/Hari https://www.cnbcindonesia.com/news/20190310144514-4-59728/tahun-ini-krl-commuter-line-bidik-12-penumpang-hari 2025-05-07 CNBC Indonesia idA bus rapid transit (BRT) system known as the Transjakarta, it is amongst the longest BRT networks in the world spanning over 240 km of dedicated bus lanes serving over 800,000 passengers daily as of 2019.

Despite offering a variety of public transportation modes, the city is often faced with serious traffic gridlocks where the Indonesian capital is ranked 19th out of 387 cities and the 9th most congested cities in Asia in terms of traffic congestion according to navigation specialist Tom Tom. 2024-07-05 Calls for Jakarta, nearby cities to tighten coordination to mitigate gridlock, emissions https://www.voanews.com/a/calls-for-jakarta-satellite-communities-to-tighten-coordination-to-mitigate-gridlock-emissions/7685122.html 2025-05-07 Voice of America enDuring the morning peak, a 10 km journey would take between 22 to 25 minutes on average whereas it can get as high as 32 minutes 20 seconds for the same 10 km stretch on Fridays between 5 to 6pm.Asian Transport Observatory 2024 Jakarta, Indonesia https://asiantransportobservatory.org/documents/271/Jakarta_transport_sector_profile.pdf Traffic congestion has also significantly had a toll on people’s finances and productivity where based on the 2022 traffic data from the Jakarta Police Division, commuters have lost around 30 minutes on every trip due to congestion costing the nation 70 Trillion Indonesian Rupiah (6.56 billion AUD). 93% of trips made in Jakarta are by private modes of transport with less than 20% of the trips being made by public transport despite its 60% target by year 2030. Hence, an integrated transport master plan is needed to address these problems faced in Jakarta’s Transport network to reduce commuting time which in turn improves productivity.

Maps of Locations
Figure1 visualises the multimodal backbone of Jakarta’s inner city, layering bus corridors, commuter-rail tracks, MRT and LRT alignments, river and harbour links, and licensed shared-taxi routes. Lines are colour-coded by mode, while a grayscale density raster in the background highlights corridors with the greatest aggregate service frequency. The darkest cells coincide with the Senen–Gambir civic spine, the Dukuh Atas TOD cluster and the Kota heritage precinct, illustrating how these hubs anchor the highest levels of network connectivity and passenger transfer activity within the 661 km² municipal area.center|thumb|839x839px|alt=|Figure1: Central Jakarta public transport network map showing the spatial distribution and route density of various transit modes, including buses, trains, light rail, subways, ferries, and shared taxis.

Graduated shading shows stepwise travel-time bands, revealing an extensive high-accessibility core encircled by progressively lighter zones. While the MRT corridor and the TransJakarta trunk lanes produce contiguous catchments across most of Central and South Jakarta, conspicuous “access gaps” persist in western riverbank kampungs and the harbourfront, underscoring the need for first-/last-mile improvements and feeder services.center|thumb|837x837px|Figure2: 40 mins Public Transport AccessSpanning the 4,384 km² Jabodetabek metropolitan area, this diagram aggregates inter-urban rail, BRT trunk lines, radial and orbital highways, and primary intercity bus axes linking Jakarta with Bogor, Depok, Bekasi and Tangerang. Line thickness reflects peak-hour capacity, while station symbols are scaled to daily boardings. The map highlights the dominant north–south commuter-rail funnels into Kota and Tanah Abang, the emergent east–west MRT East-West Line under construction, and the strategic motorway ring that channels freight around—but not through—the city core.center|thumb|842x842px|Figure3: Overview of Greater Jakarta’s regional transport network, covering Jakarta and surrounding cities such as Bogor, Depok, Bekasi, and Tangerang.

By visually collapsing mode distinctions and fare-system boundaries, the schematic communicates the city’s policy objective of seamless, ticket-integrated mobility across the entire Jabodetabek region.
Policy Issues
Indonesia's Commitment to Sustainability
Indonesia are signatories to key environmental international treaties like the Kyoto Protocol and Paris Agreement. However, the Climate Action Tracker which is an independent project that tracks government climate action has found Indonesia's climate actions and policies as "Critically Insufficient" (https://climateactiontracker.org/countries/indonesia/).
Jakarta has been facing numerous urban transport challenges, such as air pollution, traffic congestion, and a large proportion of internal combustion engine vehicles. In August 2019, Jakarta was recorded as having the worst air pollution in the world, due in great part to its transport (https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-08-02/living-in-indonesian-capital-jakarta-where-the-air-can-kill/11373644).
Greater Jakarta's Political Framework
The central and local governments of Greater Jakarta have been making efforts for the development of a transportation system that has the main purpose of traffic congestion alleviation (https://openjicareport.jica.go.jp/pdf/12356366.pdf). The first Jakarta Urban Transportation Master Plan was developed in 2011 by the Japan International Cooperation Agency.
The city has struggled to implement integrated transport changes across the Greater Jakarta region partially due to each local government defending its own transportation policy. In 2015 the government addressed these issues by forming the Greater Jakarta Transport Authority (BPTJ) to integrate transport planning of Metropolitan Jakarta. However, upon implementation limited funding has affected their influence to align local government's planning and management with the previously agreed Metropolitan Jakarta Transportation Master Plan (https://itdp-indonesia.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Executive-Summary_PT-Institutional-Integration-Recommendation.docx.pdf). For instance, organising public transport based on administrative boundaries has led to challenges in the region’s transport development, stemming from differing financial capacities and priorities among various institutions.
Narrative
Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia has been plagued with traffic congestion for the past few decades which severely hampers overall productivity due to longer commuting times and that has contributed to serious financial losses to the country. Other than that, the city also has several environmental challenges on top of congestion which are air pollution, water pollution and flooding which have a significant impact on the city.Editor Community 2024-03-19 Jakarta Environmental Problems And Circular Economy Solutions https://earth5r.org/jakarta-circular-economy/ 2025-05-07 Earth5R en
Early concepts and plans ( 1985 - early 2000s)
Since the opening of the Soekarno Hatta International Airport in 1985, Jakarta has been developing rapidly where the city has seen a major push in infrastructure construction where most of it are for automobile usage such as roadways, highways and bridge which contributed to the high car dependency as the city sprawl outwards. Crossette Barbara Times Special To the New York 1985-07-08 20 YEARS LATER, INDONESIA MOVES TO MAKE PEACE WITH ITS PAST en-US The New York Times https://www.nytimes.com/1985/07/08/world/20-years-later-indonesia-moves-to-make-peace-with-its-past.html 2025-05-07 0362-4331Public transport infrastructure development has been less emphasised where the modes of public transportation back then were commuter trains and informal modes like buses and auto rickshaws along with other modes like walking and cycling. This has contributed to the chronic traffic congestion scene that has been plaguing the city up till this age.
Back In 1985 however, B.J. Habibie who was the then state minister of technology and research proposed the MRT system where this idea was being revisited in the 1990s where the city traffic situation had already worsened leading to more studies conducted with international consultancy firms. However, the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis totally derailed the implementation of the project due to financial and funding constraints forcing Jakarta to look to other options like the Bus Rapid Transit. It wasn't until the early 2000s the MRT project was being mooted again.Firman 2017 General Overview of the development of MRT Jakarta https://eprints2.undip.ac.id/id/eprint/30501/3/Valencia%20Anatasya%20Yulianto_BAB%202_SKRIPSI.pdf
The development of an alternative mode of transport - BRT ( 2000s to 2010s)
Transjakarta, one of the world’s largest bus rapid transit (BRT) systems has been a commercial success in Jakarta in providing a low cost alternative to provide public transport service to combat congestion. Inaugurated on 15th January 2004, it is the first of its kind in South East Asia and the second in Asia after Nagoya. Today it spans over 244 kilometers of segregated bus lanes, it is amongst the longest operational Bus Rapid Transit networks in the world with more than 10 operation routes.
Taking inspiration from Bogota’s Transmilenio BRT system, this system is part of an initiative that came from the idea of then governor, Sutiyoso to implement an innovative transit system that is faster and cheaper to implement considering the lack of resources and finances to construct a metro system after the Asian Financial crisis. Two delegations from Jakarta visited two South American cities Bogotá and Quito in 2003 to study their BRT system. Then Mr Sutiyoso set up a task force consisting of five agencies: transport, public works, park, utilities and planning, and three affected local municipalities to implement the system. The first 12.9 kilometers long corridor from Kota–Blok M was implemented within 9 months.Power Maeve 2019-07-15 Transjakarta: A Study in Success https://itdp.org/2019/07/15/transjakarta-study-success/ 2025-05-07 Institute for Transportation and Development Policy - Promoting sustainable and equitable transportation worldwide en-US
The implementation of rail public transport ( 2010s onwards)
Despite the proposal for building a metro system only surfaced during the early 2000s with serious intentions made during President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono reign where he made the project a national priority in 2005 along with the BRT and commuter rail network with financial backing from the Japanese government. In 2013, active construction works began for the first phase of the system running from Lebak Bulus to Bundaran HI on a 16 kilometer alignment with 13 stations and a depot that is designed to transport 400,000 passengers daily. The first phase of the system was completed and innagurated in 2019.
With Jakarta securing the bid to host the 2018 Asian Games back in 2014, the city has invested a lot into mass transit systems under governor Ahok leadership where he rolled out several projects in the form of a few LRT lines and a 38 km alignment from the city’s main airport Soekarno Hatta International Airport to the city centre cutting travel time down in 55 minutes which will be opened by 2018 in conjunction with the Asian games.https://www.malaymail.com/news/travel/2018/01/02/jakarta-launches-first-airport-train-to-tackle-gridlock/1544407 2025-05-07 www.malaymail.com
The Dukuh Atas transportation hub is one such initiative taken by the city to integrate its public transportation services on a 3,100 m2 area. This Transit Oriented Development is officially inaugurated in 2019 which provides integration for the MRT line, LRT Jakarta and Jabodetabek lines, BRT and the commuter rail system.

Other than the transport hub, the development also features recreational spaces where there are lots of eateries which serves as a public space. The development also offers facilities like pedestrian facilities along Blora Street, green spaces, bike access and bike sharing points which is in line with the 63 km long bike lanes implemented in the city along with basic amenities like stairs, lifts and guiding blocks.The Jakarta Post 2018 Ex market torn down for Dukuh Atas TOD https://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2018/01/25/ex-market-torn-down-for-dukuh-atas-tod.htm
Discussion Questions
1. If you were the government or an urban planning institutions, would you agree to spend a lot of taxes paid by residents to develop transportation in the next 20 year(please combine with past economy situations)?
2. Compared with other developed countries or cities, what are the advantages and disadvantages of Jakarta's public transportation construction? Would imitating the rail transportation model of South Korea or Japan achieve more significant results?
3.Let's go back to the period when Jakarta had not yet vigorously developed public transportation such as BRT. If you were an enterprise or unit (Indonesia or abroad) that the government wanted to cooperate with, would you be willing to cooperate?
4. Do you think that as the city develops, BRT and traditional public transportation systems will be gradually replaced by rail transportation?
5. You are a traffic participant, you are very tired after a day of work. When it is time to get off work, would you like to ride on crowded public transportation with the public, or drive your car and listen to music and enjoy the air conditioning alone?
