T Transjakarta extended Wednesday the operating hours of the elevated Corridor 13 to 10 p.m. from 7 p.m. previously. The route connects Jl. Tendean in South Jakarta to Jl.Ciledug in Tangerang, Banten.
“This is a trial that will be conducted for a month,” said Transjakarta president director Budi Kaliwono on Wednesday.
Since the lighting system along the overpass has yet to be installed, Budi said the Transjakarta buses that operate at night would be guided by a car.
Budi said the extension of operating hours was initiated by Jakarta Deputy Governor Sandiaga Uno, who hoped for the company to meet the demand, especially from those who commute at night.
The company had also planned to procure additional buses and hire more workers to optimize its service, Budi added.
Transjakarta buses that use the 9.4-kilometer overpass accommodate up to 15,000 passengers daily. (vla)
