KAI Commuter has recorded that Jatake Station has served thousands of passengers since it began operations.
Within the first four days, the number of users boarding and alighting at the new station on the Tanah Abang–Rangkasbitung line reached 5,016 people.
Public interest in Jatake Station was evident from its first operational day.
On the inauguration day, 649 passengers were recorded using the station’s services.
“If accumulated over the four days of operation, the total number of users boarding and alighting at the station has already exceeded 5,000 people. It is estimated that the number of users will continue to increase along with improved connectivity and development in the station area,” a statement noted.
KAI Commuter data shows a trend of increasing passenger numbers day by day. On the second day, the number of users rose to 1,410 people, followed by 1,014 people on the third day.
A surge occurred again on the fourth day, with 1,944 passengers utilizing Jatake Station.
Furthermore, 192 Commuter Line trips per day pass through and stop at Jatake Station, out of a total of 206 daily trips on the Tanah Abang–Rangkasbitung line.
With this frequency, the station is expected to become an alternative boarding and alighting point, especially for residents of Tangerang Regency commuting to Jakarta.
Passengers are also reminded to remain mindful of safety and to confirm travel schedules before departure.
The presence of Jatake Station has the potential to help shift some public movement from private vehicles to public transport, which could reduce traffic congestion on highways.
