side from operating buses, PT Transportasi Jakarta (Transjakarta) is set to provide boats serving routes between Jakarta mainland and the Thousand Islands, an executive said on Friday.
The expansion is needed to enable better transportation facilities for passengers to and from both areas, said Transjakarta president director Budi Kaliwono.
To reach the goal, however, the city-owned company is currently conducting a study to examine the social impacts of the proposed operation.
"We are waiting for the study results on various social aspects. Principally, we are ready once the Jakarta administration assigns us [for the new operation]," Budi said as quoted by beritajakarta.com. "We ask residents to be patient. We hope the study will finish soon and residents can enjoy cheap and feasible transportation." (agn)
