Urban Transportation Revolution Transforms Mobility in Indonesia’s Major Cities
- May 1, 2025
- 5 min read
Indonesia’s major cities are experiencing a fundamental transformation in urban mobility systems, with integrated multi-modal networks replacing fragmented transportation options. ProSpace Indonesia’s Urban Mobility Report indicates that public transport usage has increased by 47% across Indonesia’s five largest cities since 2023.
Jakarta leads the transformation, with its expanded MRT, LRT, BRT, and micromobility options now handling 5.3 million daily trips. Integration through unified payment systems and coordinated schedules has been particularly effective in attracting riders from private vehicles.
“We’re witnessing a mindset shift among urban residents as public transportation increasingly becomes the preferred choice rather than a last resort,” explains Dr. Siti Rahayu, Urban Planning Specialist at ProSpace. “The combination of convenience, affordability, and environmental benefits is driving adoption.”
Electric buses now constitute 42% of Jakarta’s bus fleet, with similar transitions underway in Surabaya, Medan, Makassar, and Bandung. Air quality improvements have been measurable, with PM2.5 levels decreasing by an average of 18% in transit corridors.
Transit-oriented development policies have stimulated approximately $8.2 billion in real estate investments near transportation nodes since 2023. Meanwhile, ride-hailing services have evolved to complement rather than compete with public transportation through first/last-mile connection partnerships.
Challenges remain in financing ongoing operational subsidies and maintaining aging infrastructure while expanding networks, issues being addressed through innovative public-private funding mechanisms.

Indonesia’s ambitious railway development program is fundamentally altering logistics patterns and creating new economic corridors, according to ProSpace Indonesia’s Transportation Infrastructure Assessment. Rail freight volumes increased by 42% in 2024, with substantial mode shifting from road transportation.
The Trans-Sumatra Railway, now connecting Lampung to Aceh with 1,840 kilometers of operational track, has reduced logistics costs for agricultural and manufacturing products by an average of 28%. Meanwhile, the Trans-Sulawesi and Java-Bali networks continue to expand, with 520 kilometers of new track completed in 2024 alone.
“Rail infrastructure development is creating structural changes in Indonesia’s economic geography,” notes Bambang Widjaja, Transportation Infrastructure Analyst at ProSpace. “We’re seeing industrial investment following rail corridors as companies recognize the logistics advantages.”
The operational Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway has reduced travel time to 40 minutes, creating an expanded economic zone as professionals increasingly commute between the cities. Plans for extending high-speed rail to Surabaya by 2028 advance with land acquisition now 75% complete.
Urban rail networks in Jakarta, Surabaya, and Makassar continue to expand, with daily ridership across all systems reaching 1.7 million passengers. Transit-oriented development around stations is reshaping urban land use patterns and property values.
Public-private partnerships increasingly fund railway development, with the government focusing on track infrastructure while private operators manage rolling stock and operations under performance-based concessions.

The Indonesian government has released its comprehensive infrastructure development plan for 2025-2030, outlining projects valued at $327 billion across transportation, energy, water resources, and urban development sectors. ProSpace Indonesia’s Infrastructure Investment Report analyzes the ambitious pipeline that aims to accelerate economic growth and reduce regional disparities.
Transportation infrastructure dominates the plan, accounting for 43% of projected investments. This includes 2,840 kilometers of new highways, 3,750 kilometers of railway expansions, 15 new airports, and major port developments across the archipelago. Eastern Indonesia receives particular attention, with 35% of transportation allocations directed to previously underserved regions.
“This pipeline represents Indonesia’s most ambitious and comprehensive infrastructure planning cycle to date,” notes Irawan Soedjono, Infrastructure Policy Expert at ProSpace. “The balance between economic corridors and inclusive development creates a framework that addresses both growth and equity objectives.”
Public-private partnerships are expected to fund approximately 38% of the total investment, with the remainder coming from state budgets, state-owned enterprises, and international development financing. The government has established a dedicated project preparation facility to ensure projects meet bankability requirements.
Climate resilience features prominently in the planning guidelines, with all major projects requiring adaptation and mitigation elements. Meanwhile, local content requirements aim to maximize economic benefits for Indonesian suppliers and contractors.
Implementation challenges include land acquisition processes and coordination between central and regional governments, issues addressed through recent regulatory reforms.

Oil and Gas Sector Secures $15 Billion Investment Despite Energy Transition Pressures
- May 1, 2025
- 5 min read
Indonesia’s oil and gas industry has attracted $15.2 billion in new investment commitments despite global energy transition trends, according to ProSpace Indonesia’s Upstream Energy Report. The investments target both conventional production and emerging opportunities in carbon capture and hydrogen production.
Exploration activities have intensified in eastern Indonesia, with seven significant discoveries announced in the past 18 months. Meanwhile, enhanced oil recovery techniques are extending production at mature fields in Sumatra and Kalimantan, slowing the natural decline rate from 12% to 7% annually.
“Indonesia is successfully balancing energy transition goals with the practical realities of meeting current energy needs,” explains Dr. Adi Prasetyo, Oil and Gas Analyst at ProSpace. “The focus on natural gas as a transition fuel while exploring low-carbon technologies provides a pragmatic pathway.”
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) development continues as a priority, with the Abadi LNG project advancing toward final investment decision and expansion underway at the Tangguh facility. Indonesia’s LNG exports reached 16.2 million tonnes in 2024, generating approximately $8.7 billion in export earnings.
Refining capacity modernization progresses with the Tuban and Bontang refinery projects, aimed at reducing petroleum product imports which currently account for 58% of domestic consumption. The projects incorporate renewable fuel capabilities to support long-term sustainability objectives.
Regulatory reforms including streamlined permitting processes and revised production sharing terms have improved the investment climate, though more progress is needed to achieve production targets.
