JAKARTA: After canceling the launch on Feb. 14 of Tranjakarta's Corridor 8, connecting Lebak Bulus in South Jakarta to Harmoni in Central Jakarta, Governor Fauzi Bowo said Saturday the new route would be launched Feb. 21.
"If possible, Corridor 8 will be up and running next week. To ensure this, Transjakarta has to intensify the trials all this week, day and night," Fauzi was quoted as saying by beritajakarta.com.
He was speaking during an inspection of Corridor 8's facilities, including shelters and separators.
On Saturday, workers repainted some separators along Jl. Pondok Indah, while several shelters in Simprug were fixed.
Fauzi said the city had prepared 25 buses for Corridor 8. The head of city's transportation agency, M. Tauchid, said that with 25 buses, the headway was expected to reach seven to eight minutes. - JP
