Jakarta Airport to City Center｜MRT and Airport Express Experience

#7月好去处2025 This time, I went from Jakarta Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (CGK) to the city center. I chose to take the Airport Rail Link to the city center first, and then transfer to the MRT Jakarta. The overall experience was unexpectedly smooth, and it also gave me a new impression of Jakarta's public transportation. The Airport Rail Link carriage is clean and comfortable. It takes about 30 minutes to reach BNI City Station or Sudirman Baru Station in the city center. The frequency is about 30-60 minutes, and the ticket price is about Rp70,000. It is very convenient to buy tickets using the app or the ticket vending machine. After arriving in the city, I transferred to the MRT. The station is modern and cool, the carriage design is very similar to the Taipei MRT, and the passengers are also in good order. The ticket price is cheap, ranging from about Rp3,000-Rp14,000 (calculated according to distance), and you can use e-money or one-way tickets to enter and exit the station. Although the route is currently only the North-South Line (Lebak Bulus-Bundaran HI), it is very convenient to connect the city center, commercial district and shopping mall. In general, if you are not afraid of dragging your luggage to transfer, this method is more economical and worry-free than taking a taxi, and it can also avoid some traffic jams. It is a transportation option worth trying!
