Less busway rides during holiday

JAKARTA: Busway users may have to be a little patient for the next couple of weeks as busway operator TransJakarta is reducing the number of buses in operation between Sept. 25 and Oct. 10. ,

Operational manager Rene Nunumete said the busway would delay the day's start until 9 a.m. on Oct. 1 to give drivers, attendants and ticket sellers time to perform Idul Fitri prayers. On normal days, buses hit the road at 6.30 a.m. ,

"We can justify reducing buses because of the exodus, national holidays and religious holidays. We are anticipating overcrowding on our buses around amusement centers such as Ancol beach and Ragunan zoo," he said. | Sat, 09/27/2008 10:21 AM | City
