Jakarta’s public transportation network is gearing up for the Lebaran 2026 holiday season with significant operational adjustments and special fares designed to ease travel for residents. During this festive period, services like LRT Jabodebek, MRT Jakarta, and Transjakarta will offer an incredibly low fare of just Rp 1, making urban mobility highly accessible for everyone celebrating Idul Fitri.
MRT Fares
PT MRT Jakarta (Perseroda) is set to provide special services throughout the Lebaran 2026 holiday, introducing adjusted operations and budget-friendly fares to facilitate public mobility during Idul Fitri. According to Rendy Primartantyo, Corporate Secretary Division Head of PT MRT Jakarta (Perseroda), the MRT will operate on a weekend or holiday schedule from March 18-24, 2026. During this week-long period, trains will run from 5:00 AM to midnight WIB, with a consistent 10-minute headway between services.
All 13 stations will remain fully operational, accommodating 219 train journeys served by seven train sets. These adjustments are meticulously planned to ensure smooth and efficient public movement throughout the extended holiday period. Furthermore, MRT Jakarta is offering an exceptional Rp 1 fare for passengers on Lebaran Day H and H+1, a policy enacted in accordance with the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government’s directive.
“During the same period, in observance of Idul Fitri 1447 H, a special Rp 1 fare will be applicable for two days, specifically on Lebaran Day H and H+1, as per DKI Jakarta Provincial Transportation Agency Head Decree No. e-0056 Year 2026,” Rendy confirmed in an official statement on Thursday, March 19.
To uphold passenger comfort and safety, MRT Jakarta will maintain its normal service standards while increasing the number of staff at stations and onboard trains. Passengers are kindly reminded to adhere to rules, maintain cleanliness, and follow instructions from field personnel. Beyond its core transportation services, MRT Jakarta will also host various programs during the Lebaran holidays, including edutourism initiatives, special promotions via the MyMRTJ application, and engaging activities around its station areas.
Reflecting on past success, MRT Jakarta served an impressive 614,767 passengers during the Lebaran 2025 holiday period (March 28 to April 7). Notably, on the two days of Lebaran alone, ridership reached 76,106 people, underscoring the strong public demand for efficient public transport during long holidays.
LRT Fares
PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) is also set to implement a special Rp 1 fare for all routes and services of LRT Jabodebek on Lebaran Day H1 and H2 in 2026, consistent with government mandates. Bobby Rasyidin, President Director of KAI, stated that this initiative is part of KAI’s commitment to provide increasingly accessible public transportation services for the community during the Lebaran holiday.
“Lebaran is a time for people to reconnect with family, travel, and enjoy moments together. Through the Rp 1 fare policy for LRT Jabodebek on Lebaran Day H1 and H2 in 2026, KAI aims to offer a pleasant surprise while encouraging more people to utilize safe, comfortable, and integrated public transport,” Bobby articulated in KAI’s official statement.
Bobby further expressed that this special fare policy is expected to significantly boost public interest in choosing LRT Jabodebek for urban mobility, especially during the Lebaran holiday, which typically sees heightened travel activity. To ensure the smooth execution of this program, KAI, through LRT Jabodebek, has prepared several anticipatory measures. These preparations include optimizing security, health, and service personnel at stations and on trains, managing passenger density at platforms and gates, and other potentially crowded areas, with particular attention given to priority passengers.
Transjakarta Fares
PT Transportasi Jakarta (Transjakarta) is similarly implementing operational adjustments for the Lebaran period, with special services running from March 13 to March 29, 2026. Welfizon Yuza, President Director of PT Transportasi Jakarta, explained that these measures align with the Lebaran 2026 Operational Plan from the DKI Jakarta Provincial Transportation Agency, designed to facilitate the smooth flow of homecoming (mudik), return travel, and access to popular tourist destinations.
To support passengers traveling to terminals, stations, and ports, Transjakarta is making several key adjustments:
- Route 10C Reactivation: Connecting Tanjung Priok Port to Tanjung Priok, this route will serve as a shuttle service for sea travelers. It will operate from March 13-29, 2026, with schedules adjusting to ship arrival times.
- Extended Service Hours: Routes serving intercity KAI stations (such as Gambir Station and Pasar Senen Station) and major transit stations will extend their operating hours until 11:59 PM WIB during March 25-29, 2026.
- AMARI (Night Service): 24-hour bus operations will remain available on key corridors (Corridors 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, and 14), ensuring seamless connectivity around the clock.
- Special EID Routes: From March 25-27, 2026, five assistance routes (EID1-EID5) will connect Pulo Gebang Terminal to other major terminals in Jakarta (Senen, Tanjung Priok, Kampung Rambutan, Pasar Minggu, and Kalideres) between 12:00 AM and 5:00 AM WIB.
On the first day of Idul Fitri (March 21 or 22, 2026), Transjakarta will adjust its start time later than regular operations:
- Delayed Start Time: Buses will begin operations at 9:00 AM WIB, allowing drivers and field staff the opportunity to perform Idul Fitri prayers.
- Lebaran Fare: Passengers will enjoy Transjakarta services at a special Rp 1 fare on Lebaran Day H.
Throughout the Lebaran holiday period (March 18-24, 2026), Transjakarta will also enhance routes leading to Jakarta’s main tourist attractions. Regular services to these spots will operate from 5:00 AM to 11:59 PM WIB, while dedicated tourist buses will run from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM WIB, serving destinations such as:
- Ancol: Routes 5 and 1W.
