History
Background
The proposal for the LRT system in Jakarta emerged when the Jakarta Monorail construction project stalled. The stalled construction of the monorail was caused by the Governor of Jakarta, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, who did not approve of the construction of the monorail depot above the Setiabudi Reservoir. This depot plan was rejected so that the 2013 Jakarta Flood incident caused by the collapse of the Latuharhari Embankment would not happen again. Eventually, the monorail project was completely stopped because the investors did not meet the advanced requirements set by the Jakarta Provincial Government. After that, the construction of the Jakarta LRT will be a further priority. Governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama hopes that the LRT project can be more consistent and not stall like the monorail project that has been discontinued.[5][6][7]
The plan for the construction of the Jakarta LRT refers to Presidential Regulation Number 99 of 2015 concerning the Acceleration of the Implementation of Public Transportation on the Special Capital Region of Jakarta Province. The Jakarta LRT is expected to be a complement to public transportation in Jakarta as the preparation for the 2018 Asian Games. In response to this, the Governor of Jakarta directly appointed PT Jakarta Properindo and PT Pembangunan Jaya to build the Jakarta LRT.[8][9]
Phase 1
The groundbreaking of the Jakarta LRT was previously planned to be held in conjunction with the Greater Jakarta LRT groundbreaking in September 2015. The Jakarta LRT groundbreaking was held on 22 June 2016, coinciding with the 489th Anniversary of the City of Jakarta.[10][11] In December 2016, PT Wijaya Karya was appointed as the contractor for the LRT construction project worth Rp5.29 trillion (US$338,581.69).[12] The construction itself only started in early 2017 after the land preparation process had been completed.[13]
The Jakarta light rail transit project aims to tackle Jakarta's high road traffic congestion.[14] The rolling stock comes from Hyundai Rotem from South Korea which was first arrived from the Tanjung Priok Port on April 13, 2018.[15] Each trainset consists of two cars and will be able to carry 270 to 278 passengers. There will be a total of 16 cars.[1] Platform screen doors by ST Engineering Electronics will be installed at all stations. To build the site, BCA had disbursed 2.78 trillion rupiahs of their syndicated loans.[16]
The Jakarta LRT construction completion target before the 2018 Asian Games, was failed. As a result, at the time of the competition, the Jakarta LRT could only operate with a limited trial run.[17] The limited operational was carried out starting August 15, 2018 as a limited trial run.[18][19]
A full public trial run began on 11 June 2019 between Boulevard Utara and Velodrome stations, with free admission to registered ticket holders.[20] Since commercial operation began in December 2019, the "flagging" system has seen falling ridership, with an average of 4,364 passengers per day.[21]

Construction of Route 1 started on 22 June 2016. The first six kilometers of the route connecting the Kelapa Gading Depot to Velodrome Station was 29.61% complete by 26 June 2017. It was expected to be operational before the 2018 Asian Games.[24] However, this did not happen as construction is not yet finished and the Indonesia Asian Games Organizing Committee (INASGOC) considered that buses would be more effective in transporting the athletes.[25][26]
The test run for the LRT was initially scheduled for 10 August, however was delayed to 15 August 2018. Phase 1 was planned to begin operation in February, 2019.[27] After several delays, the line opened for free public trial run from July to late November 2019. Commercial operations began on 1 December 2019.[28][29]
