Including collective leave days, today is officially the first day that people should be going back to work after the Idul Fitri holiday. But you wouldn’t know it if you took the KRL Commuterline this morning.
“Usually by 7 [the station] is really crowded, but today it’s so quiet. Looks like many people are still on holiday,” passenger Nurul told Kompas this morning at Tanah Abang station.
Passengers said the trains weren’t at all packed during rush hour, unlike on normal workdays.
“It’s rare to be able to sit in the KRL during work hours. Usually I couldn’t even grab the safety handles,” said another passenger, Setyo, who took the KRL Commuterline from Serpong to Tanah Abang.
We don’t expect the KRL Commuterline to be crowded until at least next Monday, when most of Jakartans should be back at work.
