1st Time On Jakarta's Commuter Trains 🇮🇩

[@NickKTravel]

First time on the Jakarta trains, not too bad! I feel like more people in Jakarta should be using them though, it's a shame the trains are so empty and the streets are so packed! Why is that?

[@TraveldenganDon]

[@maradodol4979]

dont take the train in the morning and in the evening on weekdays..it is crowded

[@ardisetiawanw9156]

actually the trains are so packed during rush hour (around 5am to 8am or 9am, and around 4pm to 8pm).. its empty maybe because u take the train at the afternoon..

[@WIIID28]

1. this is empty becase it is covid 2. because it is not office hours(8am or 5pm)

[@tjahjl1]

Because it was not the peak hour. Second because of pandemic.

[@tjahjl1]

Nick, I like your patient repeating your name to the security guys in the Kota Station. That guys was trying to be nice to you by having those conversation, believe me :) Have a nice trip exploring Indonesia

[@FreyjaWion]

he probably mistaken Nick as Nike(shoes) name. 🤭

[@DBT1007]

And also that security dude kinda rude for talking about malaysia thing. Like.. Why?? I mean.. Do German complaining about their streetfood, BURGER, getting popularity in USA and now even associated with USA? Just chill, security guard. XD. Yes, Rendang originated from Minangkabau people. They resides in the west sumatera. Indonesia. Some of minang people migrated to many places and bring their culture with them(food, dance, etc). Malaysia is one of them.

EMUs in jakarta are indeed mostly japanese, but almost all are bought, not donated...the only ones donated were toei 6000 series and they were already retired.....some of EMUs are locally made such as soekarno-hatta airport trains, since mid 1990s we stopped importing non-DMU/EMU passenger coaches and all new intercity passenger coaches are locally made since,...locomotives for intercity trains and freight trains are made in USA (GE n GM), with small number local made and some made in germany legacy units (mostly found in north n west sumatra)

[@armanusleftarm8800]

Actually the first train in Indonesia, especially Java island is on some area near Semarang city, Central Java. If I'm not mistaken, they start to build railway system on year 1881 and first line finished on 1886. I forget the rute...,, Maybe you should search "Stasiun Joernatan & The History Of Indonesian Railways".

[@nchandra1025]

I lived in Jakarta for 20years, grew up in that area never once visit stasiun Jakarta lol thanks to ur video now I know how does it look like inside . Greetings from Houston , Texas yeehaw!

[@masakmakanngopi]

Commuterline's route Jakarta kota-Bogor, Jakarta kota-Bekasi, you can use straight train but when you want to take route to Tangerang/Duri/Tanah Abang you should transit in Manggarai Station and change the train. Cause Manggarai Station is in the central of Jakarta and central point from Bekasi/Bogor/ to travel around Jkt, known by Jabodetabek (satellite city of Jakarta). Jkt population is 9-10 million but with satellite city can more than 20 million people. That's why cars & motorcycle is everywhere. In work hour Commuterline quite empty but in the morning & afternoon full. Luckily train arrive every 15-30 minutes. Yes, most Indonesian train donate and buy from Japan. But Indonesia also have the train industry, we export to Afrika.

[@tonyyun4285]

I recommended you to try go to Bogor city with commuter train.. its only 1 hours from Stasiun Kota 😁

[@citramaharani9616]

Stasiun Jakarta is one of the oldest train station in Indonesia (I guess(?)) I had lots and lots of memories there, when I was little going to my grandma's village we always go by train and being in this station was always fun and feeling mesmerized by the interiors inside. Aaahhh those good ol' days

[@wizardishere5633]

no, the oldest train station in indonesia is samarang which has already been closed and cannot be seen with naked eyes again due to the station sinking below sea level

Actually, you're not in the commuter rush hour, that's why, it looks deserted at the station. Meanwhile, peak hours are usually at certain hours, in the morning starting at 04.00-09.00. am and evening from 4.00-8.00 pm.

Yea it is confusing for first timers to navigate through the railways, you often have to change trains to get to certain places. Anker (anak kereta, pronounced almost like anchor in English) is a nickname for those who often commute with trains. Anker can navigate through and memorize the lanes in the back of their head. I am not an Anker, so I may be confused as you are Nick.

It is better to go by BRT Transjakarta from jakarta kota stop 😅, you will stop at the sarinah bus stop right in front of the building. And yes, during pandemic period you dont allowed to talk in the train because it is a closed room situation with air con, it is easy for the virus to spread while someone infected is talking.

[@a.singgih7182]

Jakarta's commuter line is quite easy if you look on its map (there must be somewhere in the station). There are several lines differentiate with colour. On that map you can see the interchanging station and the stations you will meet in your trip. If the colour is different, it means you have to change train at that station. Be aware of the speaker because sometimes they don't go until the very last station (in this case you have to change the train on the same line) so be careful.

[@abrianardedes]

[@myway4544]

The station is normally packed too in Jakarta, still omicron restrictions. I visited Japan once and stayed for 3 months so yeah, I know exactly. Sometimes, I got squashed in between people in a train but it was fine.

[@dwilestari5257]

you should try to transit on manggarai station by Central Line (Jakarta kota - Bogor). they just renovated the station and it is amazing. they were right about the line, if you want to go to sarinah (which i know closely to HI) you have to take sudirman/karet station because you can just walk right to sarinah without ordering the uber. and you have to change the train at manggarai station if you want to go to Loop Line (Angke - Bogor) where sudirman/karet station located

[@pringgodani3782]

Happy travelling nick..

[@yosuaindonesia]

Great video sir. The condition in covid very different that before that, you can find ads in train. Train was packed with people like in Tokyo (like sardines, and some pusher like in tokyo). The station will have more people and street food in front of the station, but yeah it different now. For history and trainset The train in jakarta already exist in 1890 and tram is one decade earlier. By 1925 it was already matured, but at the time the Colonial government started electrification of rail line and first is in Tanjung Priok to Djatinegara station not Jakarta Kota. The jabodetabek rail system was fully electrified today. The trainset came from japan and it was ex second hands buy and not donated from japan except the first and only one donated in 2000 that already became scrap (Toei Metro 6000). Today mostly was ex JR 205 that still operating in Japan in some suburb line or second class line, or Tokyo Metro 6000 and 7000 that until 3 month before shipment still operating in Chuo and Fukutoshin line in Tokyo metro. So it was not so bad and very cheap. Our system was still far from perfect but we keep improving and it was in better condition than 2010 era.

[@norb4152]

This was super interesting! Classic Japanese train carts without ads really is spot on. I had no idea! I went to Jakarta first and then to Japan and definitely didn't notice it - probably because the ads in Japan are so distracting haha

[@skyejamss]

Instead, they place the ads outside of the train cars as you can see on the bunch of photos of KRLs. But not only ads, but historical things are painted on the cars, for example, last year on 17th of august was the independence day or the current G20 2022 Bali, the KRL company celebrated it by painting like, yknow, artworks and stuff on it, and this has been happening years and years before. Though it's starting to become uncommon to see ads and things painted on the trains, so I'm not sure if they're continuing this tradition (trust me, my current school is like, literally next to a railway)

[@kaikart123]

Used to be full of ads too in the inside before the whole covid thing

[@kelanarasha7186]

I think the train used by Nate was " a new delivered one from Japan" so the ads had not been showed in it...Actually most commuter trains (we call them KRL) used in Jakarta have the ads show inside.

[@ForYou-xu8st]

The nearest station to sarinah is gondangdia, you dont have to transit. From gondangdia you can take gojek, from gondangdia to sarinah it just about 700 m

You're wrong about one line route, Nick. That's not for commuter line but for TransJakarta Bus. Better you ride TransJakarta and only take a few minutes to Sarinah Station. Sarinah has no train line, it's only for TransJakarta. If you go with train, so you have to transit at many stations and it pricey and take so much of times. With TransJakarta, in front of Beos Station to Sarinah only takes you 3,5k Rupiahs. From Kota (Beos Train Station) to Sarinah is not really far btw.

Hi Nick, Train is not yet good for transport to be used in Indonesia, the system and management are still disorganised, hmm…I think the transport system/management in Indonesia is still disorganised, lack of instruction/guides, comfort, safety etc at the moment so I suggest you better use a grab, gojek or gocar for your travel or taxi/cab if you are planning to explore intercity-near places. You even can hire the car+driver for US$30-40whole day in car rental - can take you wherever you want and they will wait for you- No hassle. It will cost you more but they are more convenient for you while travelling or exploring. The purpose of holiday/travel we want to treat ourself for something enjoyable/comfort/safe, right??But, is your choice if you prefer to do like you have done- well keep going mate…😉 Stay safe and enjoy your holiday in Indo..

it is Japanese train, they gave us so much old trains because in Japan if you want to "recycle" the train you have to pay so much expensive, they're like "who wants these trains?" and Indonesia just paid for the shipping. it doesn't mean Indonesia can't make train, we made it and also exporting train. because the demand is so high and need a fast "new trains" if we make new train it really takes a long time to cover all this city needs and it's cheaper than making a new one, as we know Japan has a very good quality in everything (of course we checked the trains and everything in Japan before the shipping) it's 11am 😂😂 no one is going back from school or office at that time of course empty. just don't try it in the morning or evening it's sooo packed with people just the same as Japan rush hour train
