The Jakarta administration plans to revitalize the city'€™s public transportation with help from the Australian government'€™s overseas-assistance program AusAID'€™s Indonesia Infrastructure Initiative (IndII).

Public Transportation Agency head of land transportation Emanuel Kristanto said that AusAID through IndII will help the city administration revitalize the current public transportation system by changing its current management system.

AusAID, he said, would act as a consultant to the city administration.

Your comments:

Replace all those rust buckets with new ones when the new scheme comes into play. They are a disgrace to the city of Jakarta. Don'€™t worry, there are plenty in Bali as well.

I would say 99 percent of them wouldn'€™t be roadworthy, putting customers'€™ lives at risk. A lot of the larger buses are in the same condition as well but I think the government is doing something about them '€” I hope!

The city is moving in the right direction. Make it more organized, and safer for everyone.

Yes indeed! Such a fresh breath of air this Jakarta administration has been for the past two years.
