KA Commuter Jabodetabek
KRL Jabodetabek serves commuters in Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, South Tangerang, and Bekasi. The current trains are mostly ex-Tokyo Metro, Toei Subway, Japan Railways and Tokyu trains and some are from PT INKA. KA Commuter Jabodetabek are operated by PT KAI Commuter Jabodetabek, another subsidiaries of PTKA.In 1923, before Indonesian declaration of independence, Staats Spoorwegen, a Dutch colonial railways company, built the 1st electrified railway from Tanjung Priok to Meester Cornelis (Jatinegara) and began operation in 1925 with 3000 series locomotives from SLMâ€"BBC (Swiss Locomotive & Machine Works - Brown Boveri & Cie), 3100 series electric locomotives from AEG Germany, 3200 series locomotives from Werkspoor Netherlands and passenger coaches from Westinghouse and General Electric. The electrification project continued in 1927 in an existing railway which served around Batavia and neighboring cities.
After independence in 1945, the railway operation was taken over by Djawatan Kereta Api Repoeblik Indonesia. In 1976, the old locomotives and coaches were replaced with electric trains from Japan. The commuter system was started in 2000, integrating railway lines covered under PTKA's Division of First Operational Areas (Daop 1 Jakarta) and the said area was taken under its subsidiary, PT KAI Commuter Jabodetabek, in 2008.
The modernization of the commuter railway system was started in 2011, which reduced the number of lines from 37 to 6 current integrated lines, removal of express class services, and simplifying the classes into 2 train classes which stops at every station. In July 2013, the operator introduced the Commet (Commuter Electronic Ticketing) system replacing the old paper ticket system and changing the old fare system into 'Progressive Fare' system (Fares counting per station), as well as modernization of all 80 serving stations.

In July 2013, the new ticketing system was adopted along with new fares counting system. The new electronic ticket or COMMET was applied to ease the passengers along the travels. In this new system, the passengers will be given a single-trip card at the ticket counter, which must be tapped in entry gate and submit into exit gate at the destination station. The ticket counter also sells multi-trip card, which be tapped both in entry gate and exit gate. The multi-trip card are priced at IDR 33000 (with IDR 13000 credit inside the card). To avoid single-trip tickets loss as before with equivalent value of Rp4 billion or about $364,000 due to passengers didn't give backed the ticket and exit not through exit gate, on August 22, 2013 the authority begin sell Tiket Harian Berjaminan (Daily Deposit Ticket) with deposit price of Rp5,000 for the ticket plus additional daily fare. The Daily Deposit Ticket can be refundable maximum of 7 days after the latest top-up day. So, the single-trip and multy-trip ticket relatively same and both will be tapped to the same machines/gates.
The new fares counting system called 'Progressive Fares'. This new fare system depend on number of station passed, and applied on Commuter class in all line. The 1st 5 station passed will be charged IDR 3000 and every next 3 station passed will be charged IDR 1000. But, from July until November 2013, the fares will be lowered consecutively to IDR 2000 and IDR 500, due to Government's subsidy. The Economy class fares still at IDR 2000-3000, depends on each lines. After one week of implementation of the new reduced ticket fares, the passengers increase by 30 percent especially from white-collar workers and executives from about 300,000 to 390,000 passengers per day, because the cheaper price and the cars relatively clean, comfortable and suit their schedules. To anticipate the increasing passengers and makes more convinience in the future, the KCJ will add 10 cars in Bogor, in early August 2013 and by 2014 will add up to 170 cars.
