The Jakarta administration plans to extend the Jakarta Light Rail Transit (LRT) line from Manggarai to Dukuh Atas after the Velodrome-Manggarai section opens next month, with Governor Pramono Anung targeting completion by 2028 to strengthen the capital's integrated public transport network.Pramono unveiled the plan on Tuesday while inspecting construction of the LRT Phase 1B project, which will connect Velodrome Station in East Jakarta with Manggarai Station in South Jakarta. The 6.4-kilometer extension is around 95 percent complete and is scheduled to begin operations in August.
"I have decided that [once the line reaches Manggarai], it will immediately continue to Dukuh Atas," Pramono said.
