Jakarta (B2B) - Penumpang kereta listrik (KRL) dari Bogor harus mencari transportasi lain untuk menuju Jakarta, setelah rel kereta api rusak akibat tanah longsor di Cilebut, Rabu sore, sehingga harus menjalani perbaikan yang membutuhkan waktu selama dua hari.
Kepala Humas PT KAI Sugeng Priyono menyatakan, pihaknya akan mencoba untuk mengoperasikan satu jalur kereta api setelah perbaikan selama dua hari.
Wakil Kepala Stasiun Kereta Bogor, Enjang Syarif Budiman mengatakan, seluruh perbaikan membutuhkan waktu hingga tujuh hari. "Ada banyak hal yang harus diperbaiki, termasuk memperkuat kontur tanah."
Stasiun Bogor mencatat 35 ribu penumpang per hari. Kebanyakan dari mereka adalah pekerja yang tinggal di Bogor, tetapi bekerja di ibukota, atau pedagang yang menjalankan usahanya di beberapa pasar seperti Tanah Abang.
Rabu kemarin, Enjang menambahkan bahwa stasiun telah membatalkan 98 jadwal kereta. Kerugian materi mencapai Rp128 juta (US$13.280).
Hujan lebat menyebabkan tanah longsor di Km 45 dekat stasiun Cilebut, Bogor, Rabu sore. Akibat longsor, jalur KRL sepanjang 200 meter dan ketinggian sekitar 35 meter membuat jalur rel kereta api tergantung sepanjang 75 meter sehingga rel tidak dapat dilalui kereta dan empat tiang listrik di sepanjang rel kereta api juga terseret longsor.
Sejak itu, seluruh penumpang kereta dari Jakarta ke Bogor hanya sampai di stasiun kereta Bojong Gede. Keesokan harinya, ratusan penumpang dari Bogor harus pergi ke Bojong Gede untuk menggunakan kereta api ke Jakarta.
Pada 5 Oktober, tanah longsor di Cilebut juga mengganggu jadwal kereta. PT KAI butuh waktu satu hari untuk memperbaiki rel kereta api.
Jakarta (B2B) - Electric train (KRL) passengers from Bogor must find another mode of transportation to reach Jakarta, as the broken railway, which was caused by a landslide in Cilebut Wednesday afternoon, will undergo repairs that could take at least two days to complete.
Train operator PT KAI spokesman Sugeng Priyono said that his company would try to operate one rail track after two days of repairs.
Deputy head of the Bogor train station Enjang Syarif Budiman, however, said that all repairs could take up to seven days. “There are many things that we have to fix, including strengthening the contour of the land,” he said as quoted by Antara news wire.
“We need time to fix the problem, but we will try to do it as fast as we can,” he said.
The Bogor station records 35,000 KRL passengers per day. Most of them are workers who reside in Bogor, but work in the capital, or vendors who run businesses in several markets like Tanah Abang.
On Wednesday, Enjang said that the station had canceled 98 train schedules. Material loss reached Rp 128 million (US$13,280), he added.
Heavy rains caused a landslide at the 45-kilometer point of the railway in Cilebut, Bogor, Wednesday afternoon. Due to the landslide, with 200-meters in length and 35-meters in depth, the railway between the two stations hung for 75- meters and four electrical poles along the railway were toppled, said State railway.
Since then, all commuter trains from Jakarta to Bogor could only reach Bojong Gede train station. The following day, hundreds of commuters from Bogor had to go to Bojong Gede to take a train to Jakarta.
On Oct. 5, the landslide in Cilebut also disrupted the train schedule. The train operator took one day to normalize the track.
