The Jabodebek LRT Cibubur Line (Indonesian: LRT Jabodebek Lin Cibubur) is one of the two light rapid lines of the Jabodebek LRT which connect Dukuh Atas to Harjamukti station, which is about 25.94 km in length. The line adopts elevated construction and stops at twelve stations.

Its Pancoran–Harjamukti section runs along the Jakarta Inner Ring Road and Jagorawi Toll Road. The planned next phase would extend the line to Bogor.^[3]

History

Main article: Jabodebek LRT § Background

The elevated route is built parallel with the Jagorawi Toll Road.

Like other public transportation systems in Jabodetabek area, the Jabodebek LRT system was built to break down congestion. The construction of the Cawang–Cibubur LRT Line and other lines in the first phase of the Jabodebek LRT construction began with the groundbreaking on 9 September 2015 by President Joko Widodo. It was carried out near the planned TMII Station which is a part of this route.^[4]

Initially the phase 1 was targeted to be completed before the 2018 Asian Games. However, until the Asian Games were held, the overall progress was still 45%. Even so, at the time the Cawang–Cibubur route had already begun to be installed with rails.^[5]

In March 2019, the entire track has been connected. All elevated construction work has been completed and continued with signaling and station construction. Therefore, the line is estimated to be ready for the trial run considering that the other lines have not yet completed their track construction.^[6][7]

On October 11, 2019, the first train of Jabodebek LRT arrived in Jakarta. The shipment was carried out by land directly from INKA factory in Madiun, East Java. For the time being, the train has been parked near Harjamukti Station; considering that the LRT depot construction in Jatimulya, Bekasi has not yet been completed.^[8][9]

In October 2020, the Jabodebek LRT trains began their trials. The trial was carried out on the Cawang–Cibubur route from TMII Station to Harjamukti Station. It was conducted to check signal and track readiness.^[10][11]

Network

Route

The Cibubur Line has a track length of 25.94 kilometers.^[12] Most of the trajectory of this route is using an elevated structure. From Dukuh Atas to Cawang, this line shares the route with Bekasi Line, goes along Jalan Rasuna Said then turns to the south side of the Jakarta Inner Ring Road (Cawang–Pluit section). In Cawang Station, the two lines split and the line follows the Jagorawi Toll Road alignment.^[13] In a section from Cawang Station to TMII Station, the route follows the east side of the toll road; tracks are made at grade because it is close to the approach zone of Halim Perdanakusuma Airport. After TMII Station, the route moves to the west side until its terminus at Harjamukti Station.^[14] The track ends at Harjamukti as a pit stop, although all trains of the system have their depot in Jatimulya, part of the Bekasi Line.

Future development

In the phase 2 plan, the Cibubur Line is to be extended to Bogor and Senayan.^[15][16] The Cibubur-Bogor route is planned to be built at grade, instead of elevated like the Cawang–Cibubur route. This aims to save construction costs by up to 50%.^[17] Until recently, it is still in the design planning process.^[18][19]

Incidents

• On October 25, 2021, two LRT trains had an accident while undergoing trials on Cibubur Line, parallel to the Jagorawi Toll Road.^[20][21]
