T
he Jakarta Transportation Agency has begun operating 26 Transjakarta feeder buses to transport passengers from several areas across the city to the integrated Pulo Gebang terminal in Cakung, East Jakarta.
The feeder buses are available 24 hours a day at the Tanjung Priok terminal in North Jakarta and at the Pinang Ranti terminal in East Jakarta.
The agency’s deputy head Sigit Wijatmoko said on Wednesday that the launch of the operation went smoothly. “The buses will transport passengers to Pulo Gebang with tickets costing up to Rp 3,500 [26 US cents],” he said as quoted by beritajakarta.com.
The Pulo Gebang terminal, the largest bus terminal in Southeast Asia, was launched in December last year. It is considered somewhat unattractive to passengers because it is hard to reach the area. (vny)
