The Tangerang regency administration has confirmed plans to construct six mass rapid transit (MRT) stations along the East–West line, part of Indonesia’s national strategic project (PSN). The line will connect Cikarang in West Java with Balaraja in Banten. According to Tangerang Regency Secretary Soma Atmaja, the stations will be located in Bitung, Curug, Cikupa, and Balaraja districts, covering a stretch of 12–20 km.
In total, Greater Tangerang will host 11 MRT stations under the East–West corridor—six in Tangerang regency and five in Tangerang city. Greater Tangerang includes Tangerang city, South Tangerang, and Tangerang regency. The development will be jointly undertaken by the regional administrations and PT MRT Jakarta, the Jakarta city-owned operator.
The East–West line is designed to enhance connectivity between Jakarta and the western part of the metropolitan area, easing congestion and supporting regional growth. Alongside this, the North–South line is planned to extend service into South Tangerang, expanding MRT coverage further into the suburban regions of Jakarta’s metropolitan area.
