esidents of Jakarta and neighboring cities can soon check their smartphones for real time reports and timetables on public transportation services, such as Transjakarta buses, commuter trains and public minivans.

The Greater Jakarta Transportation Agency (BPTJ) said the application would give users information on which mode of public transportation they could use to reach a particular destination.

“They won’t get confused anymore, because all information about all types of public transportation are available in the app,” BPTJ head Elly Andriani Sinaga told reporters during the inauguration of the JR Connexion bus service in Jakarta on Wednesday.
