Jakarta –

The first incident occurred on the Duri-Tangerang route on Saturday at 07:15 WIB. A car collided with a commuter train at an illegal crossing in Rawabuaya.

“Specifically at an illegal crossing. The operator of train 1920 reported a car stuck on the railway tracks,” said the Jakarta Area 1 Public Relations Manager in a statement.

The second accident occurred on the Parahyangan-Gambir route at 08:00 WIB. A train hit a person on the downstream track between Bekasi and Jatinegara.

“A report from the train assistant of KA 131 stated that the train hit a person on that track,” they said.

The spokesperson stated that these two incidents add to the growing list of train travel disruptions caused by public activities on railway tracks and the presence of illegal crossings. They urged the public not to engage in activities on railway tracks as it endangers collective safety.

“Safety is the top priority in railway operations. We invite the public to jointly maintain safety by refraining from dangerous activities on railway tracks and not establishing illegal level crossings. If illegal crossings are found, the railway company along with local government and related parties will take enforcement actions according to applicable regulations,” they stated.

They presented operational disruption data (collisions) in the Jakarta Area 1 region from January to September. There were 183 recorded incidents of trains hitting objects on railway tracks. Here is the data:

-132 cases involved people.

-47 cases involved vehicles.

-4 cases involved animals.

Duri-Tangerang route

The Duri-Tangerang route is a railway line in Greater Jakarta, Indonesia, originally constructed in the late 19th century during the Dutch colonial era. It serves as a vital commuter link, connecting the western areas of the metropolitan region to the central network. Today, it is operated as part of the KRL Commuterline system, providing essential daily transport for thousands of passengers.

Rawabuaya

I am unable to find any significant historical or cultural information about a place named “Rawabuaya.” It appears this may refer to a neighborhood (Kelurahan Rawabuaya) in the Cengkareng district of Jakarta, Indonesia. As a modern administrative area, it does not have a widely documented history as a prominent cultural site.

Parahyangan-Gambir route

The Parahyangan-Gambir route refers to a historic railway line in West Java, Indonesia, connecting the Priangan (Parahyangan) highlands with Gambir Station in central Jakarta. It was a vital colonial-era transport link, established in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, primarily for transporting agricultural goods like tea and coffee from the highlands to the capital’s port. Today, it remains a crucial passenger corridor, famously serviced by the Argo Parahyangan train, facilitating travel between Bandung and Jakarta.

Bekasi

Bekasi is a city in West Java, Indonesia, located on the eastern border of the capital, Jakarta. Historically, it was part of the ancient Tarumanagara and Sunda Kingdoms, with evidence of its past found in inscriptions like the Tugu inscription. Today, it is primarily known as a major industrial and residential hub that supports the Jakarta metropolitan area.

Jatinegara

Jatinegara is a district in East Jakarta, Indonesia, historically known as Meester Cornelis. It was a major colonial hub in the 18th century, named after a schoolmaster and landowner, Cornelis Senen. Today, it is a bustling commercial and transportation center, retaining historical landmarks like its old train station.

Jakarta Area 1

I am unable to provide a summary for “Jakarta Area 1” as it is not a recognized or specific cultural site, landmark, or defined district in Jakarta. The city is divided into administrative cities and municipalities, but none are officially named “Area 1.” For an accurate summary, please provide the correct name of a specific place, such as Kota Tua (Old Town) or the National Monument (Monas).
