Kapanlagi.com - PT Kereta Commuter Indonesia (KCI) is ready to face the surge of Jabodetabek KRL passengers ahead of the Grand Reunion 212 to be held at Monas, Jakarta. In an effort to ensure a comfortable and safe journey for passengers, KCI has increased the number of security personnel at several strategic stations.

With the addition of personnel and enhanced services, it is expected that the comfort and safety of Commuter Line users can be maintained, especially at stations close to the event location.

1. Additional Personnel for Security

KAI Commuter has deployed additional personnel at key stations such as Juanda, Gondangdia, and Manggarai to maintain order during the Great Reunion 212.

At Juanda Station, 30 standby officers are ready to manage passenger flow, while Gondangdia is guarded by 23 personnel, and Manggarai is reinforced by 40 officers.

The presence of these additional personnel, consisting of KAI Commuter's internal team and support from the military, aims to ensure that all service users can carry out their activities safely and orderly.

2. Service Engineering at Stations and Platforms

To maintain comfort and security at the station, officers will implement a barrier system in the hall. This step is taken to reduce congestion on the platform by limiting the number of passengers present there at one time.

In addition, officers are also actively providing directions to users, such as prioritizing passengers disembarking from the train, avoiding safe lines, and maintaining order to keep the atmosphere conducive in the station area.
