Prepare This Before Taking Public Transportation During PPKM Level 3

Are you one of the people who are getting ready to commute in Jakarta? Since PPKM Level 3 was imposed at the end of this August, Jakartans as well as people who live in the suburban area have prepared themselves for work or school. Several regulations were implemented amid these conditions. For example, the capacity of public transportation is limited at 50% of normal capacity, and the requirement of a vaccination certificate which you have to show before getting on public transportation. Besides the vaccination certificate, here are other things you need to bring along before taking public transportation in Jakarta.

Digital Vaccination Status on JAKI

Did you know that JAKI digital vaccination status is also valid to use in Jakarta? Yes, the statement was written in the Governor Decree №1055 of 2021. Transjakarta and MRT require their passengers to show a vaccine certificate in digital or printed form. To save you from the pain of printing the certificate, simply open JAKI on your phone and show your vaccination status. Don’t have the app yet? Get it for free on Play Store or App Store.

Public Transportation Operational Hours

This part also demands your attention. During PPKM Level 3, public transportation services in Jakarta have made necessary adjustments in their operational hours. For example, Transjakarta operates from 05.00–21.30. Meanwhile for LRT, the operating hour is from 05.30 to 21.30 with a 10-minute headway. Assuming you don’t fancy being late to your business, it’s always good to check on the operational hours of your chosen mode of transportations.

Masks and Hand Sanitizer

At this point, these two items are the absolute necessary out of all the stuff inside your bag. You can’t leave the house without it. To save you from trouble, make sure you have enough of it before going outside.
