Airport railway line may also be connected to Kota Station

State railway operator, PT Kereta Api Indonesia or the short is KAI, is currently studying the plan about connect the airport to Kota Station in West Jakarta.If it is feasible, both the Manggarai line and the Kota line would have service to and from the airport, scheduled to begin operation in the first half of next year.

In addition to the original plan to connect Soekarno-Hatta International to Manggarai Station in South Jakarta, the airport trains, which are now under construction, may also run from the airport to Kota Station in West Jakarta. Jakarta Kota Station is visited by many commuter train routes. We hope people will use the train to go to the airport to reduce traffic congestion.

This plan is quite good because KAI wants to share the passenger load of Manggarai Station with Jakarta Kota Station, as Manggarai Station is already heavily used. The railway operator is now developing a 12 kilometer railway from Batu Ceper Station in Tangerang to a newly built station at the airport, more than three kilometers of which has been finished. Wish this plan will be realized soon.
