At present, the KRL route in Bekasi is still stuck until Cikarang, West Java.
Director of Traffic and Railroad Transport (LLKA) DJKA Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub) Arif Anwar said that until now the government has no plans to extend the KRL Lintas Bekasi to Karawang.
Because according to him, the government must first install the top electricity (LAA) to be able to extend the KRL route to Karawang.
“So at this time the electrification is indeed new to Cikarang. I think I have not yet been planned to go to Karawang, because we have to do electrification first up to Karawang,” Arif said at a press conference at the Ministry of Transportation Office, Monday (9/15) quoted

In addition, added Arif, the government does not yet have a budget to conduct electrification or installation of LAA to Karawang.Moreover, the Ministry of Transportation has another priority program that takes quite a lot of budget.

Meanwhile, Arif said KRL passengers from or to Karawang could change modes from KRL to local train.
“From Cikarang to Kerawang or to Cikampek, it can connect with a local train,” Arif said.
The Minister of Transportation (Menhub) of the 7th President Joko Widodo (Jokowi), Budi Karya Sumadi had targeted the KRL route to be extended to Karawang in 2025 or no later than 2026.
“So if the name of the KRL is macro being an initiative from the government as an example to the west we have done until Rangkasbitung. Karawang can be next year or 2026,” Budi told reporters after a meeting with the House of Representatives Commission V, Senayan, Central Jakarta, Wednesday (5/6).
