TRAVELING WITH MRT JAKARTA

MRT LEBAK BULUS STATION IN THE YEAR 2019


When I received a one-night stay gift at House of Manna, I immediately looked up more details on its exact location and what transportation I should use to get there. I also checked out where to dine in , whether the location is near or a bit far and need another transportation. But, it seems I need not to worry about where to eat while staying there. So, back to the transportation again. 

By the way, this post related to two previous posts in Indonesian:

HOUSE OF MANNA AND TRIBE EATERY at night

I was hesitant about whether to simply book a taxi and go straight from home to House of Manna, or take a slightly more complicated route by taking a taxi from home to the Bundaran HI MRT station, and then continuing with another taxi to get to the accommodation. I was still considering both options until the day of departure when it started raining.

So, my plan to have some fun by taking the MRT to the accommodation seems out of the question. I decided to use IN Drive instead as its fare fit my budget. However, we encountered a traffic jam due to the rain, and I ended up arriving at the accommodation at 3 PM instead of the check-in time of 2 PM. But, I have informed them that I would be arriving late, due to traffic jam. So, all good. 


Priority entrance/exit

When checking out the next day, the weather was much more friendly than the previous day, so I looked for a taxi to take me and my mom to the Lebak Bulus MRT station.


IMPORTANT NOTE:

There are some things to consider when using a wheelchair, such as finding MRT stations with elevators for entry and exit. The fastest way to find this information is to ask the MRT station directly via social media. The response was quick and helpful, and they informed me that the elevator within MRT LEBAK BULUS STATION were located near the entrance/exit B & E.

I checked the map on the Jakarta MRT website and began to estimate which entrance I should use. It was my lucky day because the driver knew where to drop us off so we could use the elevator immediately.




Even before entering, the cleaning staff were already there to help open the elevator door, seeing that I was struggling to push the wheelchair and lead my mother. Not to mention, I also had a backpack that looked like I was moving out, even though it only had clothes for one night.

Inside the MRT station area, we also received assistance from staff. While waiting for me to tap the prepaid card for both of us, the staff immediately helped push the wheelchair to the elevator to get to the MRT station platform.

Once we enter the platform, I noticed that there are also priorities area for people in need like my mom. Again, on the platform, several staff members helped push the wheelchair into the MRT. Inside the MRT, there is a special area for wheelchair users.


Staff on duty ready to help to aboard the MRT

The staff not only helped at the Lebak Bulus MRT Station, but they also contacted their colleagues at the destination station (in this case, the Bundaran HI MRT station) and provided information on which car we were in. So, once we arrived at the destination station, we were greeted by staff who immediately helped push the wheelchair until I tapped to exit.


Area for people using wheelchair

So, for those who are traveling in Jakarta and want to use the MRT, don't worry. You will be assisted by many staff members from entry to exit of the station, as long as you comply with the regulations, such as wearing a mask during the trip.

I also made reels if you wish to see what it looks like around MRT LEBAK BULUS STATION. So, you will get a glimpse about the MRT Station.

  1. Hi Mb Ria, it's warm to read your journey with mom. It's remind me to a journey with my hubby, my mom, and my mom in law several years ago. I don't know why..

    Btw, I appreciated to all of staff who served you and mom when you both went by MRT. When I and my kiddos visited Jakarta last year, I tried to use MRT. That is a worth memory for us.

  2. Naik MRT ke manapun tujuan kita, tentu meyenangkan.Apalagi dengan fasilitas dan perlakuan staf terhadap para penumpangnya yang baik sekali. Kursi roda tersedia, lift untuk disabilitas juga ada. Jadi ga khawatr lagi ya naik transportasi umum di zaman sekarang. Yang penting kita patuh terhadap peraturan yang berlaku, jalan2 dengan MRT dapat dinikmati dengan seru deh.
