- Join us on our first time using KRL Indonesia.
The KRL in Jakarta, Indonesia is considered the commuter line here in Jakarta. With over 1,000,000 daily passengers! That is 3x the amount of people who live in the City i was born in! - CRAZY!
We wanted to film this because we had recently done a review of the MRT in Jakarta and thought that it was a very modern and new system but had NO PASSENGERS ! So we wanted the more authentic experience!
So here we go.. enjoy!
KRL is in great demand by the public because the train connects the buffer city and the city of Jakarta, KRL also has a longer line and has existed for a long time before the MRT. Maybe you can also try the Transjakarta bus, friends 🙏
Yeah cool. We will try the bus next :)
@@yourmatematt you can try Free Wisata touring Jakarta. it's double decker bus for your rides in central Jakarta for free. you can go bus stop in sarinah or Thamrin or cathedral Church or Istiqal mosque there are shuttles bus for take a Free wisata bus .
@@sendukrietje5076 oh cool!! I didn’t know about this at all
@dittoroso oooo intriguing thanks !
@@yourmatematt yes most of people didn't know about it, I have try it when i was in Jakarta 8 year ago on 2014. the bus will touring around tourist destination and will pass by at Bundaran HI , sarinah, Thamrin museum, cathedral Church, Istiqal Mosque in Jakarta and others places in Central Jakarta only include kota tua too.
you can try public transportation like bus it called Trans Jakarta using E_Money card that you can top up . that card are available for all public transportation in jakarta like bus Trans Jakarta , MRT, LRT in Jakarta you can visit velodrome in Jakarta that located in east Jakarta and other City in North Jakarta. it can because for KRL too and other shops that accept E_Money Card. it's useful for you to travel using public transportation around Jakarta from east to west Jakarta and to North and central Jakarta.
KRL is packed because it covers a lot bigger region, carries a lot more passengers. Thus it has much bigger and longer train than MRTs. Single KRL trainsets can consists of minimum 8 carriages, but often 10 carriages and sometimes 12 carriages. You would literally travel for hours just to cris-cros Jakarta Metropolitan Area. The furthest station would be Rangkasbitung station (the green line). It takes almost two hours to travel from the terminus to the city center. The Bogor and Cikarang line can be quite long journey as well.
Yes, Bogor line (the red line) is long but the line is mostly dense urban area. while the green line is a bit mixed between Urban and Rural area and even some greeneries.
The terminus of Green line at Rangkasbitung station is so far even no longer part of Jakarta metropolitan area and entirely different city with different phone area code, different vehicle plate registration series code, and different police department.
Thanks for this amazing info :)
2:22 noise sound for sign train is coming or passing at station. . wow, Universitas Indonesia only smart people can studying in there. . Enjoy explore Indonesia 🇮🇩
My two cent tips for you, the best and wise way travelling around jakarta is by public bus or commuter train, very cheap, quite comfy all with AC, and just buy the card from chain store name the indomaret or alfamart the card name e- money or flazz. The card is acceptable for all of the public transportation system in jakarta ( one for all ). And you can top up the balance at every indo or alfamart store. My suggestion for you, take the airport train from airport to the downtown to avoid the traffic jam. VV. And if you take the train when you traveling around Java is the best choice, you will be paid with astonishing scenery along the way. Use the app from your cell phone for reservation the ticket. They accepted int' C card.
It hasn't been this way if you look as far as 10 years ago, these are the lines where people tend to get on top of the roof at times but it has gradually improving ever since. Still not quite as Japan so this is only the beginning, hopefully we could improve it to much better with leveled boarding and all. Anyhow you should try the airport train at 3:26 someday, loving the vlog can't wait to see more, my suggestion would probably be taking more of the public transportation here like transjakarta BRTs
Thanks man - love the comment
You guys were the first foreigner I watched that make vlog at Indonesian campus. University of Indonesia arguably is one of the best, if not the best, university in Indonesia.
Very nice interaction with the students there! Glad you enjoy the trip!
KRL may not be as sleek and shiny as MRT but I find it lot more functional, affordable, and useful!
2:21: This is the Bel Stasiun or Station Bell. It sounds when a train in approaching the station basically. At some station they don't use the Westminster Chimes but uses music from local areas. Its amazing to listen to. There is a video of some of the sounds of the Bel Stasiuns on CZcams.
Fun fact, all of Jakarta's KRL are Jr 205 series, tm 05 series, tokyu 8000, and other japanese trains
Very nice video mate, it's good to see you comunicate with the students
Was a fun day
Thank you for praising our commuter line system and my university. I think it is getting better and better. I lived in Lancaster for 1 year and visited Manchester 2 times. Compared to the Manchester metro line, the KRL is too crowded and sometimes unreliable. However, with that cheap ticket price, you cannot complain too much.
Oh cool. What were you doing in Manchester?
@@yourmatematt watched football,concert and stadium tour
there's a myth on the commuter comunity who take the Manggarai station transit. "They will show their true character when they transit at the Manggarai station during rush hour"😂😂😂
HahHaha I can imagine this it true
Hi Matt, its very nice to see your vlog, as a new subscriber who live in Jakarta, I will be happy to accompany you to see several museums in Jakarta if you guys are interested
That would be awesome! We’re in Bali at the moment but will be back in Jakarta soon! Message me on insta - your mate maty
Fact :
Not all KRL lines are equal
The best line is the Bogor line as it runs the most on time and is least crowded
The worst one is the Tangerang line. The trains arrive less frequently (every 15-30 mins) so it's always packed even off rush hours. Can also sometimes be late (by a couple of minutes).
Mostly because it shares a track with the airport train, limiting the capacity.
KEEP IN MIND that overall the KRL is still a very well maintained and reliable public transit system, one of the best in SEA and even the world. Delays exist but are rarely if ever over a couple of minutes. The main issues are overcrowding (which is an issue with every train system in any major city during rush hour), and frequency of service (which is an issue mainly on the Tangerang Line and some parts of the 'Loop' line)
Nice vlog dude, I hope your channel get bigger and make you more excited on making more videos in Indonesia
Thank you bro :)
Mate you should try to visit Bandung Institute of Technology, there is more zen, more green, and the atmosphere is very cool. There are also dutch heritage buildings that are still used for classrooms until now
wow you have more experience then i am local. so cool
If you are comeback to Jakarta, try to take the KRL again from Manggarai Station at rush hour (6-8 am or 4-6 pm). Seriously, it would be much much more fun! 😂
You should try transjakarta because it cover lor more area in jakarta. And angkot/microtrans too it smaller bus that cover lot place with narrow street. You can use that card for both transportarion. Good luck!
I love Jakarta Indonesia rush hour and food delicious 👍
9:11 Wow! His English is very good. His pronunciation is very clear and I'm also amazed with his fluency.. 👍👍
Love it 😍
When I leave the house, I always use Mikrotrans, it's free transportation, I just connect to the Commuterline train, or TransJakarta bus, this transportation is very good, and cheap, sometimes I also take the MRT and LRT. Next try electric bus in Terminal Blok M or from Irti Monas,this bus is like a ghost, barely audible.
Used to live in TangSel and work in Jakarta but moved to another island few years ago. I miss KRL.. Was my everyday transportation.. 😢
Well hopefully this has been a little reminder :)
Ahh that’s my campus, UI ❤
I think You will go to Bogor by KRL Commuter Line, hehee... The beautiful and cool buffer city of Jakarta, has a World famous botanical garden in the middle of the city. Culinary center in Surya Kencana or Chinatown that sells delicious Indonesian Food. Maybe next time 😊
Yes next time for sure!!! We didn’t know it was so nice !
@@yourmatematt yeah bro, hope you enjoy it. Take care 👍
@@yourmatematt After leaving Bogor, continue to the Cipanas area, where the air is cold like Europe and there are many tea gardens
Have a nice day. Bro👍👍
You should visit Bandung, try angkot there, very convenience, fast and cheap hehe, also can be stopped everywhere.
Wow I’m Korean living in Jakarta too, but I have never ridden KRL. That’s good video👍😄
do u enjoy being in Jakarta compared to seoul
Keren luar biasa perjalanan vidio nya. 👍👍👍
When I watch this video, I think Both of U wanna go to Bogor lol. But its Nice to stop by at University of Indonesia. It was my campus
Nice vid mate! Next time try using the BRT system or Transjakarta, maybe?
What’s the BRT bro?
@@yourmatematt Bus Rapid Transit or the other name is Transjakarta
nice vlog bro, do you know your brother Buddymoon also in Jakarta😀😀😀
That my campus, I have graduated in 1980 even before the campus moved here in Depok. I was lucky involved in building the first tower for rectorat in front of lake.
FTUI angkatan berapa ?
Keren bang 👍lanjutkan....
at 5:58 that sign mean "Prohibited From Selling" not "Scale", its look like scales but it didn't, this sign it mean in Indonesian "Pikulan" or in english mean "load" or "Yoke", at old days some people selling by Yoke if you see a food street at Jakarta such as "Kerak Telor" Vendor, "Rujak Bebek" Vendor, etc, and this people at olds days selling at Train 😇😇😇
at 6:00 that sign mean "No littering" not "Trowing Stone" 🤣🤣🤣
at 6:01 that sign mean "No sitting on the floor" 😇😇😇
You could also ride the KAI one its same as the krl but its like a fire train
KALIAN BERDUA COBA KUNJUNGI KOTA PENYANGGA JAKARTA, BOGOR, DEPOK, TANGGERANG, BEKASI DAN BANDUNG
kRL tranportasi murah,,, mantap dan kreen bisa naik,,,
Enjoy jakarta
Let's try taking the train around the island of Java 😁😅
Yay :)
I hope you can be happy traveling And can visit To other cities in Indonesia

You can use card for KRL, MRT and Busway, don't throw away
Oh really?! Ok great!
I hope you enjoy your holiday in indonesia
Thanks!

Hnaksn
Nice and correct way to get lost..you should visit Bogor Botanical Garden or kebun raya bogor next time..also dont forget to visit bogor palace , our president time most indeed choose staying in the Palace of Bogor is more cool.
always your channel matte
Thank you bro !
Subbed. I'm Jakartan btw
Just an idea... If you have opportunity Indonesia open badminton event it would be great atmosphere to see
Oh cool idea… how can I find more information ?
the sound is sign for comming or leaving train.
Ohhhh! That makes sense
Have you tried Jakarta LRT (Jabodebek LRT)?, if not you must try and compare with MRT and KRL.
Some of us wear jackets or sweaters even during the day
go to puncak Bogor, very nice view in there
Oh really… ok next time!
@@yourmatematt Puncak Highlands in Bogor is like Ubud Bali. You can review lot of hotels like Royal Tulip Gunung Geulis, Pullman Ciawi Vimala Hills, Pesona Alam Resort, and many waterfalls like Curug. And more
@@globalnews2150 awesome - I’ll add it to my list :)
Try travel around java or sumatra by Bus...collabs with mas arkan ..a bus review youtuber
Oh cool - that would be good!
Just like when my Mom asking me "what do you want to do in the future? Or wanted to become?" My answer "I dont know Mom, not really sure" 😅
Haha - same !
Actually Depok City is part of West Java province that closed to the capital city of Indonesia are called Jakarta. but in future the capital City of Indonesia will move to another province in east kalimantan it will be our new capital City in the future. so jakarta is located in Java Island that surrounded by many City around west Java like Depok , Bekasi, Bogor , tangerang city are part of west Java District. that's way Jakarta become the megacity of Indonesia were you can meet local people that come from 34 province in Indonesia for better study and working . the commuter rail system in Jakarta are connected to all line in Java Island that you can travel to East Java, west Java and central Java from Gambir station in central Jakarta.
so Depok city are outside of Jakarta District are not part of Jakarta but part of west Java province are many city like bekasi, bogor, bandung and other city that part of west Java.
Jakarta are divided into different districts like south Jakarta, east Jakarta, north Jakarta, west Jakarta and central jakarta .
Wow thanks so much for all this info :)
@@yourmatematt You can visit BSD means Bumi Serpong Damai city is located outside of Jakarta. BSD are part of Tangerang. there you can find University name is Pelita it's close to BSD in Tangerang City. the whearter in west Java are different is more warm and cool because it's highland than Jakarta are near to the sea that's is why it's more hotter than other City in west Java. if you go to south Jakarta it near by to depok City and bekasi city . you will feel more warm than North Jakarta are hot wheather because it's near to the sea and ocean.
Welcome to indo
has anyone pointed out that those KRL trains are former JR Trains?
Om bule kapan2 hunting bareng hehe
Enjoy in Jakarta
Thank you !
You know Matt, the lake in Universitas Indonesia is famous for being haunted 👻
Oh really?! Why?!
@@yourmatematt I don't know percisely, if I'm not mistaken several times there have been incidents of death body being found in the lake, and it turned into a myth
@@yourmatematt well, almost every campus in Indonesia (and around the world too I suppose) has its own ghost stories or legends. For UI, short for Universitas Indonesia or University of Indonesia, it's not just the lake that is said to be haunted, but almost every faculty zone has its own take on the supranatural. Stories ranging from the ghost of a student who died on her way to her graduation ceremony, the lady in red, the pitch black figure, the lady in purple, the flying hawker cart, the lady in white flying alongside the campus bus, etc etc etc. Whether you believe it or not (given that Universities are supposed to be places for the rational haha), these stories undoubtedly add flavor to campus life, for students, faculty members, locals around the university, and visitors alike. :D
The university of indonesia's complex is huge, with two small lakes, and is said to have been built on top of 2 villages and 1 cemetery.
I like my campus even though with currently we have a capitalist money oriented Chancellor 🥰
Enjoyed Please
go on cianjur or sukabumi get to the country side
Next trip kota tua BATAVIA
Already been there bro.. you can see the video on my channel :)
well, 7 years ago, a student dead body was found in the lake....
anyway, KRL train is imported from japan...
Oh god.. how did they die?
@@yourmatematt remains unsolved until today
What camera your use? Gopro 11?
Yes exactly this. I also use a Sony ZV1 sometimes
6:25 haha
Enjoy watching!!
💪👍👍👍🇮🇩♥️♥️
it's not fun when rush hour
Depends on your definition of fun
krl corner chair usually priority for eldery, pregnant women, disabled peoples..
Oh no really?! Oops!!! We didn’t sit there very long
Indonesian krl is better than amerika...because in amerika so many zombi man inside locomotif😂
Don't use KRL at busy time, its super crowded you have to be quick, and dont start in mid station locations, even japan has the same super Crowded. 🥵🤢
If u return the card , you will get 10k return
Thanks !
does your name have to be Matt?😓😓😓
What kind a question is this?? Meaning you don't know about the Name
Mrt sepi. Berarti gak sukses?
Bukan ga sukses tapi jaraknya yang terlalu pendek, orang-orang jadi males pakai mrt, kalau mrt jaraknya sudah diperpanjang seperti KRL nantinya akan ramai juga , butuh proses om, mrt sedang dalam perluasan juga
@@kedondongimut567 iya, klo mau untung jual gorengan. Hari itu juga dpt untung. Mangkanya investor agak kurang suka inves proyek model begini.
I don't like the color tone in this vid☹️
Ok thanks for letting me know… I was trying something new
@@yourmatematt ya mate it’s too yellowish
@@DevaraGian1998 yes I think I agree
