The best way to beat the crazy Jakarta traffic is to take the public transportation. In this Indonesia vlog, I take Jakarta’s emerging metro system and decide which metro line is my favorite. Jakarta’s metro system includes: - Kereta Rel Listrik (KRL) Commuterline - Lintas Rel Terpado Jakarta / Light Rail Transit (LRT) - Jabodebek LRT - Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) We also visit Manggarai Station, Sudirman Station, Dukuh Atas LRT BNI Station, Dukuh Atas BNI MRT station, and Bundaran Hi MRT Station. Enjoy! About Jakarta’s Metro System: Jakarta’s metro network has quickly become one of the most important pillars of transportation in the world’s most populous urban region. The system isn’t just one line or one train—it’s a combination of the long-running KRL Commuterline, the newer MRT, and the rapidly expanding LRT. Each serves a slightly different purpose, but together they represent Jakarta’s ongoing transformation toward a more connected and efficient city. The KRL stretches far beyond central Jakarta, linking suburbs and satellite cities where millions commute daily. It may get crowded, but it’s reliable, frequent, and absolutely essential for everyday life. The MRT, on the other hand, feels noticeably modern, cleaner, and more structured. It currently runs north–south through the heart of the city and has already changed how many people think about public transport in Indonesia. Then there’s the LRT—part elevated, part futuristic in feel—helping connect growing residential and business areas while reducing dependence on cars. Beyond the trains themselves, one of the biggest successes is integration: tap-in cards, connected stations, and an increasing focus on comfort and accessibility. Jakarta’s metro system is still evolving, but it’s already a powerful symbol of how the city is adapting, modernizing, and keeping millions of people moving every single day. Sistem transportasi rel Jakarta kini menjadi bagian penting dari ritme kehidupan kota yang super padat. Bukan hanya satu jenis kereta, jaringan ini terdiri dari KRL Commuterline, MRT Jakarta, serta LRT yang semakin berkembang. Ketiganya punya karakter dan fungsi berbeda, namun saling melengkapi dalam menggerakkan jutaan orang setiap hari. KRL sudah lama menjadi tulang punggung mobilitas warga Jabodetabek. Jaringannya luas, menjangkau kota-kota penyangga, dan menjadi pilihan utama para pekerja harian meskipun sering penuh pada jam sibuk. MRT menghadirkan pengalaman berbeda: stasiun yang lebih rapi, perjalanan lebih tenang, dan sistem yang terasa modern. Kehadirannya mengubah cara banyak orang memandang transportasi umum di ibu kota. Sementara itu, LRT hadir sebagai solusi baru untuk menghubungkan kawasan berkembang serta membantu mengurangi ketergantungan pada kendaraan pribadi. Perhatian terhadap integrasi juga semakin terlihat—mulai dari kartu pembayaran non-tunai yang praktis hingga upaya menghubungkan antarmoda. Perjalanan Jakarta menuju sistem transportasi kelas dunia masih berlanjut, tetapi kemajuan yang terlihat sekarang sudah menunjukkan komitmen besar untuk menyediakan mobilitas yang lebih baik, lebih cepat, dan lebih nyaman bagi warganya. #JakartaMetro #JakartaMRT #JakartaLRT #KRLCommuterline #Indonesia #JalanJalan #VlogIndonesia #ExploreIndonesia #MRTJakarta #Bule #BuleVlog #LRTJakarta #TransportasiUmum
