Moreover, Jakarta Transport Agency head Andri Yansah said he fully supports the service. “We will ask all airport train feeder buses to go to [state-owned commuter line operator Kereta Commuter Indonesia] station.”
He added that passengers will have the opportunity to board and disembark on the station. “So [the service] can be integrated to make it easier for passengers to transfer with their luggage.”
