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–Bekasi 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.

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%, thus it was unable to be commercially run as targeted.

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 of the Cibubur Line; considering that the LRT depot construction in Jatimulya, which is this line's terminus, has not yet been completed.[3][4]

In October 2020, the Jabodebek LRT trains began their trials.

Network

Route

The Bekasi Line has a track length of 29.54 kilometers.[5] Most of the trajectory of this route is using an elevated structure. From Dukuh Atas to Cawang, this line shares the route with Cibubur 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 Jakarta–Cikampek Toll Road alignment. The network's depot is located at the Jatimulya terminus, thus the tracks continue to Jatimulya depot after the Jatimulya station.
