Private sector Jakarta workers earning less than IDR 6.2 million per month are now eligible to ride TransJakarta, MRT Jakarta, and LRT Jakarta services free of charge.
The policy is set out in Jakarta Governor Regulation Number 33 of 2025 concerning the Provision of Free Mass Public Transportation Services, which expands the range of beneficiaries to 15 specific community groups.
According to the regulation, workers who earn a maximum of 1.15 times the 2025 Provincial Minimum Wage (UMP) of IDR 5,396,761 qualify for the programme. This income threshold is equivalent to approximately IDR 6,206,275 per month.
To receive the facility, workers must hold a Jakarta Worker Card (KPJ), be registered residents of Jakarta, and work within the province.
The Head of the Jakarta Transportation Agency, Syafrin Liputo, said that eligible private sector employees can use all three public transport modes under the free travel scheme.
“Those categorised as private sector employees are those holding Jakarta Worker Cards with a standard of 1.15 times the Provincial Minimum Wage,” he stated in a written announcement on Thursday, 6 November 2025, as quoted by Liputan6.
Syafrin added that the free travel period remains valid as long as workers continue to meet the requirements.
“The free service period is as long as the worker is registered as a Jakarta Worker Card holder, but the data is updated every six months to ensure the subsidies are properly targeted,” he explained.
The Jakarta Provincial Government reports that the number of cardholders has reached 187,000. Eligible individuals may apply for the Jakarta Worker Card through the official website at klg.transjakarta.co.id.
