Transjakarta has announced new schedules for its busway fleet for the eve of Idul Fitri and during the Islamic holidays.

Sunandar Saputra, a Transjakarta staff member, said all buses would stop operating at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday due to the Idul Fitri eve parade, or takbiran.

"Our last buses will leave at 6:30 p.m.," he said as quoted by tempointerakti.com Thursday. Ticket counters will open until 6 p.m.
