Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the factors causing commuter train delays in the Greater Jakarta Area.

Research Methodology: The study uses the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to analyze timeliness. Twelve informants were involved: five from regulators, five from operators, one railway expert, and one commuter train user, representing Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi.

Results: Delays were primarily caused by operational conflicts with long-distance and freight trains, Manggarai Station construction under the Double Double Track project, signaling system changes, and speed restrictions at Manggarai Station.

Conclusions: Commuter train delays in the Greater Jakarta Area are mainly due to speed restrictions at Manggarai Station from Double-Double Track construction, signal disturbances, operational interactions with long-distance and freight trains, and accidents at level crossings.

Limitations: The study is limited to twelve informants and one commuter line segment, which may restrict generalizability to other lines or regions.

Contributions: This study provides practical insights for railway operators and policymakers to improve train timeliness, optimize operational patterns, and prioritize infrastructure upgrades, contributing to research on commuter rail service quality.
