MRT Ticket Price

After having applied a 50 percent discount for the last six weeks,

PT MRT started to charge full price for passengers starting Monday.

the price ranged from Rp 3,000 (20 US cents) to Rp 14,000,

depending on the distance traveled.
“[Information about] the policy on normal fares has been disseminated to people

 through social media account, website and mobile app, activities and events in the stations’ corridors,.

The company implemented the 50 percent discount


after previously providing free trips for a month for passengers

The free and discounted price was part of the company’s strategy

to promote the modern subway service

and to lure people to take public transportation instead of private vehicles.

Despite the full price, some MRT stations were still packed with passengers.

Christina did not mind paying more because for her

the price was worth the convenience and facility that the MRT offered.

She has been a frequent passenger of the MRT from x to Central Jakarta.
“I don’t think I suffer any loss because

it’s obvious that the MRT is more efficient than using Transjakarta bus or private car.

I know how congested the roads are from Bulus to the Hl traffic circle.

Before using the MRT service,

she used to spend up to Rp 60,000 for a taxi ride from Lebak Bulus to the HI traffic circle.
