It is an acronym for Kereta Rel Listrik Jakarta Bogor Depok Tangerang Bekasi which can be loosely translated into Jabodetabek electrified rail. KRL Jabodetabek serves commuters in Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, South Tangerang, and Bekasi. In cooperation with Taman Impian Jaya Ancol, KRL Jabotabek runs a tourist train called Kereta Wisata Ancol on weekends.

All KRL trains are procured by PT Industri Kereta Api (Inka). Most are second-hand rail cars imported from Japan, although most trains which are not equipped with air-conditioning (mainly economy class) were produced domestically with the help of Japanese (Hitachi) or Korean companies (Hyundai). The commuter trains usually travel distances between 25 and 60 km, with operating speeds ranging from 55 to 110 km/h. Trains are generally formed of 8 cars, with a capacity of 80 - 110 passengers per car.
