First Time Using KRL Indonesia | SHOULD YOU?

Join us on our first time using KRL Indonesia.
The KRL in Jakarta, Indonesia is considered the commuter line here in Jakarta. With over 1,000,000 daily passengers! That is 3x the amount of people who live in the City i was born in! - CRAZY!
We wanted to film this because we had recently done a review of the MRT in Jakarta and thought that it was a very modern and new system but had NO PASSENGERS ! So we wanted the more authentic experience!
So here we go.. enjoy!

[@ilhamrj2599]

KRL is packed because it covers a lot bigger region, carries a lot more passengers. Thus it has much bigger and longer train than MRTs. Single KRL trainsets can consists of minimum 8 carriages, but often 10 carriages and sometimes 12 carriages. You would literally travel for hours just to cris-cros Jakarta Metropolitan Area. The furthest station would be Rangkasbitung station (the green line). It takes almost two hours to travel from the terminus to the city center. The Bogor and Cikarang line can be quite long journey as well. Yes, Bogor line (the red line) is long but the line is mostly dense urban area. while the green line is a bit mixed between Urban and Rural area and even some greeneries. The terminus of Green line at Rangkasbitung station is so far even no longer part of Jakarta metropolitan area and entirely different city with different phone area code, different vehicle plate registration series code, and different police department.

Thanks for this amazing info :)

[@maksumzaifudin5859]

KRL is in great demand by the public because the train connects the buffer city and the city of Jakarta, KRL also has a longer line and has existed for a long time before the MRT. Maybe you can also try the Transjakarta bus, friends 🙏

[@yourmatematt]

Yeah cool. We will try the bus next :)

2:22 noise sound for sign train is coming or passing at station. . wow, Universitas Indonesia only smart people can studying in there. . Enjoy explore Indonesia 🇮🇩

[@XnonXte]

It hasn't been this way if you look as far as 10 years ago, these are the lines where people tend to get on top of the roof at times but it has gradually improving ever since. Still not quite as Japan so this is only the beginning, hopefully we could improve it to much better with leveled boarding and all. Anyhow you should try the airport train at 3:26 someday, loving the vlog can't wait to see more, my suggestion would probably be taking more of the public transportation here like transjakarta BRTs

[@yourmatematt]

Thanks man - love the comment

[@chiquitacat]

You guys were the first foreigner I watched that make vlog at Indonesian campus. University of Indonesia arguably is one of the best, if not the best, university in Indonesia.

[@Dedek-cx4kn]

My two cent tips for you, the best and wise way travelling around jakarta is by public bus or commuter train, very cheap, quite comfy all with AC, and just buy the card from chain store name the indomaret or alfamart the card name e- money or flazz. The card is acceptable for all of the public transportation system in jakarta ( one for all ). And you can top up the balance at every indo or alfamart store. My suggestion for you, take the airport train from airport to the downtown to avoid the traffic jam. VV. And if you take the train when you traveling around Java is the best choice, you will be paid with astonishing scenery along the way. Use the app from your cell phone for reservation the ticket. They accepted int' C card.

Very nice interaction with the students there! Glad you enjoy the trip! KRL may not be as sleek and shiny as MRT but I find it lot more functional, affordable, and useful!

[@Dimasshard]

Thank you for praising our commuter line system and my university. I think it is getting better and better. I lived in Lancaster for 1 year and visited Manchester 2 times. Compared to the Manchester metro line, the KRL is too crowded and sometimes unreliable. However, with that cheap ticket price, you cannot complain too much.

2:21: This is the Bel Stasiun or Station Bell. It sounds when a train in approaching the station basically. At some station they don't use the Westminster Chimes but uses music from local areas. Its amazing to listen to. There is a video of some of the sounds of the Bel Stasiuns on KZbin.

When I leave the house, I always use Mikrotrans, it's free transportation, I just connect to the Commuterline train, or TransJakarta bus, this transportation is very good, and cheap, sometimes I also take the MRT and LRT. Next try electric bus in Terminal Blok M or from Irti Monas,this bus is like a ghost, barely audible.

[@Bangjaluuu]

Mate you should try to visit Bandung Institute of Technology, there is more zen, more green, and the atmosphere is very cool. There are also dutch heritage buildings that are still used for classrooms until now

[@donironandiono1180]

You should try transjakarta because it cover lor more area in jakarta. And angkot/microtrans too it smaller bus that cover lot place with narrow street. You can use that card for both transportarion. Good luck!

[@henryhamilton4087]

Fact : Not all KRL lines are equal The best line is the Bogor line as it runs the most on time and is least crowded The worst one is the Tangerang line. The trains arrive less frequently (every 15-30 mins) so it's always packed even off rush hours. Can also sometimes be late (by a couple of minutes). Mostly because it shares a track with the airport train, limiting the capacity. KEEP IN MIND that overall the KRL is still a very well maintained and reliable public transit system, one of the best in SEA and even the world. Delays exist but are rarely if ever over a couple of minutes. The main issues are overcrowding (which is an issue with every train system in any major city during rush hour), and frequency of service (which is an issue mainly on the Tangerang Line and some parts of the 'Loop' line)

Actually Depok City is part of West Java province that closed to the capital city of Indonesia are called Jakarta. but in future the capital City of Indonesia will move to another province in east kalimantan it will be our new capital City in the future. so jakarta is located in Java Island that surrounded by many City around west Java like Depok , Bekasi, Bogor , tangerang city are part of west Java District. that's way Jakarta become the megacity of Indonesia were you can meet local people that come from 34 province in Indonesia for better study and working . the commuter rail system in Jakarta are connected to all line in Java Island that you can travel to East Java, west Java and central Java from Gambir station in central Jakarta. so Depok city are outside of Jakarta District are not part of Jakarta but part of west Java province are many city like bekasi, bogor, bandung and other city that part of west Java. Jakarta are divided into different districts like south Jakarta, east Jakarta, north Jakarta, west Jakarta and central jakarta .

​@@yourmatematt well, almost every campus in Indonesia (and around the world too I suppose) has its own ghost stories or legends. For UI, short for Universitas Indonesia or University of Indonesia, it's not just the lake that is said to be haunted, but almost every faculty zone has its own take on the supranatural. Stories ranging from the ghost of a student who died on her way to her graduation ceremony, the lady in red, the pitch black figure, the lady in purple, the flying hawker cart, the lady in white flying alongside the campus bus, etc etc etc. Whether you believe it or not (given that Universities are supposed to be places for the rational haha), these stories undoubtedly add flavor to campus life, for students, faculty members, locals around the university, and visitors alike. :D The university of indonesia's complex is huge, with two small lakes, and is said to have been built on top of 2 villages and 1 cemetery.
