Jakarta -A number of KRL passengers have complained about new access at Tanjung Barat Station, South Jakarta, which is now directly linked to the SameMesta Maata apartment. They call access to make the travel time longer because they have to turn. One of the passengers, Nia, 28, said she could go to the station directly from the Crossing Bridge (JPO). But now the road can no longer be used as before. “Mutter is really far away. If you usually get out, you can drive immediately with JPO, you have to go now,” Nia said when he met on Saturday (5/17/2025).

In accordance with NIA, another passenger, Lika, 27, also regretted the change in access and hoped that PT Kereta API Indonesia (Kai) would do an evaluation. “I’m tired of going first. It used to be very close to JPO, now you have to go far away. If you want to cross immediately, not to JPO, the vehicle is also a lot of pressure,” says Laba. Lika, who uses Krl of Tanjung Barat station every day to leave work and go home, claims to be exhausted because of the extra distance. “Sometimes it’s really tired from work, now you have to walk further and take the JPO again. Quite tired, ‘he said. New access to Tanjung Barat station.

Kai acknowledged that the new access indeed added the travel time of passengers. “The initial evaluation results showed an additional travel time of about six minutes from the residential point to the platform. However, passengers also welcomed the presence of a quieter alternative route and directly to the platform area,” Kai Public Relations Vice President, Anne Purba, said in his statement, Friday (5/16/2025). The hearing was performed at 06.00-08.00 WIB and was monitored directly by officers to ensure the smooth flow of the user. Some users also provide input, including suggestions, so that a new gate can be used in two directions, both for tap and tap out, for the sake of efficiency, especially during the peak hour. Anne also apologized for the technical problems on the escalator that did not function during the rush hour. “Technical officers handle the field immediately. Increasing the reliability of facilities is our priority in the next phase of improvement,” he said. (Mib/aik) HOEGENG Awards 2025 Read the inspiring story of the exemplary police candidate here
