The soft launch of the two new LRT lines (LRT Jabobek, meaning Jakarta-Bogor-Depok-Bekasi - it doesn't run through Depok nor Bogor though, for now) is still slated for July 12 when passengers can use the system for free for a while. #LRTJabodebek #ujicoba #trialrun #LRT #Jakarta 
Free is not entirely correct, as the cashless system used in the Greater Jakarta area doesn't allow for fares to be 0 rupiah, so you'll pay 1 rupiah instead. Apparently the operator didn't find this out until late last month. 😬
The two lines that will start is commercially split into three lines to make it easier to understand what train is going where. Let's run through these as well.
The trunk (green) of the line will be the stretch between Dukuh Atas (skywalk integration with commuterline trains, MRT Jakarta and the busway system) and Cawang towards the southeast, which has integration with the commuterline as well. Trains here will run every 5 min.
The longest branch in distance (red) is towards the south, the future Bogor line, but it now terminates at the southern end of Cibubur, just a few hundred meters from the provincial border, as these are apparently hard to cross? Trains here will run every 10 min.
The second arm (purple) of this little network will run towards Bekasi Timur (East Bekasi) and will also run every 10 minutes. This is also the location of the main train depot, which has been filled with trains eager to get to work for months now.
