TransJakarta or Busway

2009-09-24T01:07:00.000-07:00

Public transport system in Jakarta are not taxi, bus or city-train only. Since 2004, Jakarta has 'TransJakarta' or also known as Busway. This add another transport system to people's list. Busway's route spans from North to South, from West to East of Jakarta.

The previous governor of DKI Jakarta, Sutiyoso, was the man behind this project. He has dreams for people in Jakarta to have a safe, comfortable and cheap public transport system. This idea was first opposed by many people who own private car because they were feared that the use of dedicated lanes for Busway will cause more traffic jam. Instead of drew back the project, Bang Yos (Sutiyoso's other famous nickname) insist on this idea.

In this 5th year of it's operational time, even though we still find many things that needs improvements, it is proven that Busway becomes a better public transport system.

So if you are in Jakarta, why don't you try busway?

Tip: wear comfortable clothing, don't use busway during busy hours (8AM-10AM and 4PM-7PM)
