User Research Summary

I talked with my friends and families whose commute with KAI Commuter/KRL within Jakarta Metropolitan Area. Most of them use the KRL Access application to track their train when waiting for it at the Station. The prominent input I’ve received from them is about how outdated the user interface design is. Some of them also asked me about the possibility of adding a feature to remind their train service. While there are also complaints about the available information on the app, they are eager to see what the new, redesigned KRL Access application looks like.
