City-owned transportation company PT MRT Jakarta signed a cooperation agreement with power bank rental technology company ReCharge to provide power bank rental outlets at all MRT Jakarta stations

We achieved high numbers only within half a month

There are 15 ReCharge power bank rental machines spread across 13 stations.

PT MRT's Business Development Director Farchad Mahfud stated that based on the data, the agreement, which began on July 14, 2022, has recorded 993 rental transactions at the outlets until July 31, 2022.

“We achieved high numbers only within half a month. That means these outlets have supported the smartphone-using lifestyle at MRT stations," he expressed, Sunday (8/14).

He explained that power bank rental is a feature to support the mobility of MRT Jakarta service users as well as a form of commitment to support the digital lifestyle of MRT Jakarta service users through continuous innovation.

One of the attractions for people to use public transportation is because it meets the aspects of safety, comfort, and reliability.

"These various facilities will provide comfort and the MRT users can still do their lifestyle in the ecosystem of public transportation facilities," he explained.

ReCharge Indonesia CEO Dick Listijono revealed that he realized that commuting activities had returned to normal in post-pandemic conditions like now.

Because of that, ReCharge was launched by carrying power bank-sharing technology to make it easier for consumers or device users to charge their device batteries with the ReCharge power bank.

“Users can rent and return them to ReCharge Stations at each station or other public transportation outlets. This is also our support for integrating public transportation modes in Jakarta," he closed.
