Indonesia public transport ridership growth

Overview

Indonesia is experiencing significant growth in public transportation patronage across several networks.

In the Yogyakarta region, Trans Jogja bus ridership saw a substantial increase between 2022 and 2025. Simultaneously, PT Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI) reported a rise in the usage of reduced-fare tickets for disabled passengers in the first half of 2026 compared to the previous year.

In East Java, the KAI Commuter Line Area VIII Surabaya network reported serving over 10 million passengers from January to July 2026, an 8.15% increase over the same period in 2025. This growth is attributed to increasing demand for travel related to work, education, trade, and tourism.
