The electrification project continued and on 1 May 1927, all rail lines that surround Batavia has been fully electrified. Batavia Zuid station (now
Jakarta Kota) was closed temporarily in 1926, was reopened on 8 October 1929. The last part of the electrification project, Batavia Zuid – Buitenzorg, was completed in 1930. After independence in 1945, the railway operation was taken over by DKA (''Djawatan Kereta Api Repoeblik Indonesia'', Indonesian Railways Bureau, former name KAI).
Decline and revival
Transportation in Jakarta was at its lowest point during the 1960s.
Tramways in Jakarta were closed in 1960 and railway traffic on Manggarai – Jakarta Kota was restricted in November 1966. In 1965, a portion of railway line between

PNKA (later

, spun-off to form ''KAI Commuterline Jabodetabek'' ''(KCJ).'' Ticket revenues, rolling stock maintenance, and station management was transferred to the newly formed subsidiary, but all operational matters (e.g. scheduling and dispatching), rolling stock, stations and infrastructures remained under KAI responsibility.
The modernization of the commuter railway system, however, did not begin until 2011. Network operations were greatly simplified from 37
point-to-point service patterns into six integrated lines (known as "loop line" system) all running local, stopping at every station, as express services were abolished. Service was also simplified into two service classes: Economy class (cheaper service without air conditioning, subsidized by
Ministry of Transportation

) and Commuter class (more expensive service with air conditioning). On 17 April 2013, the commuter line extension to Maja in the Green Line commenced operation.
On 25 July 2013, the economy class was discontinued, leaving the Commuter class as the sole service class throughout the network. In July 2013, the operator introduced the ''COMMET'' (Commuter Electronic Ticketing) system replacing the old paper ticket system and changing the old fare system into 'progressive fare' system, as well as modernization of all 80 serving stations.
Starting on 1 April 2015, the Nambo line extension operation is commenced. Three line extensions have been opened between 2015 and 2017: the extension of Pink Line to
Tanjung Priuk station which commenced operation on 22 December 2015, the extension of Green Line to
Rangkasbitung station which commenced operation on 1 April 2017,
and the extension of Blue Line to
Cikarang station which commenced operation on 8 October 2017.
In July 2015, KA Commuter Jabodetabek served more than 850,000 passengers per day, which is almost triple the 2011 figures, but still less than 3.5% of all Jabodetabek commutes.
Until 5 March 2014, KA Commuter Jabodetabek only operates 8-car trainsets on all lines.
In 2016, the operation of 12-car trainsets commenced. As of December 2019, it operates 1,057 trips per day by 90 trains.
Service routes
The modernization project in 2011 introduced 6 integrated commuter lines and 8 services which serve

Ticketing and fares
Passengers may purchase ticket for single or multiple journeys. Single-journey cards, ''Tiket Harian Berjaminan'' (THB, "guaranteed daily ticket") may be purchased at any ticket counters or C-VIM vending machines, available in some stations. A Rp 10,000 deposit will be levied on top of the fare to be paid in order to prevent losses for KCI, as many passengers do not return the single-journey cards. Passengers may recharge the card for the next trip, or refund the deposit at the ticket counter or vending machines in any KRL Commuterline stations.
However, if the card is not used or recharged for seven days, the card will expire and cannot be refunded.
Passengers may also purchase a card for multiple journeys, named ''Kartu Multi-Trip'' (KMT, "multitrip card"). KMT is priced at Rp 50,000 (including Rp 30,000 credit). The card has no expiry date and can be used with a minimum credit of Rp 5,000 after KCI introduced fare adjustment machines. Passengers who don't have enough credit in their KMT can top-up at fare adjustment machines or two-way ticket counters. Previously the minimum credit was Rp 13,000, based on the highest available fare in the system. The card may be topped up at the ticket counters or vending machines.
Starting in October 2021 this card could also be used in other major transit systems such as

Fares
Fare is charged by distance travelled (''
'
''progressive fare''
), Rp 3,000 for the first 25 kilometers and Rp 1,000 for every next 10 kilometers. The fare is subsidized by the Ministry of Transportation. For instance in 2016, the government allocated Rp 1.1 trillion
public service obligation to KRL Commuterline.
Prior to the introduction of distance-based fare, the fare is determined by number of stations passed. The first five stations passed is charged at Rp 3,000 and every next three stations charged at Rp 1,000. Between July and November 2013, the charges were lowered to Rp 2,000 and Rp 500 respectively, after the government subsidized the fare. Number of passengers increased by 30% after one week of introduction of the new fares.
Stations
As of January 2019, there are 80 active and 4 inactive stations for KRL Commuterline. All the stations have commercial zones of various sizes for operating retail stores, chain shops, and ATM booth. The stations have prayer place, toilets and dispensary for emergency health service. Stations have manual ticket counters as well as automated ticket vending machines since 2017 . Started on 15 January 2019, all stations have free Wi-Fi service facility for passengers.
