ETLE cameras to be installed to keep vehicles away from Transjakarta lanes
Applying the ETLE system has become more urgent as Transjakarta recorded a decrease of clear dedicated Transjakarta lanes from 55 percent in 2016 to 51 percent last year.

ity-owned transportation company PT Transjakarta and the Jakarta Police traffic management unit have teamed up to expand the electronic traffic law enforcement (ETLE) system in Transjakarta lanes.
Both institutions signed a memorandum of understanding on the ELTE system for 12 Transjakarta corridors on Monday at the Jakarta Police office.
Transjakarta president director Agung Wicaksono said the system installation aimed to improve the punctuality of Transjakarta buses.
“The key to encouraging people to use public transportation is by providing smooth and clear lanes hence the speed of [Transjakarta] buses can be well-predicted,” he said in a written statement made available to The Jakarta Post on Tuesday.
Inspired by the ETLE system already in place since November last year, Agung expressed his belief the system would help curb congestion, improve the order of Transjakarta buses as well as traffic in general.
“The ETLE system is able to provide accuracy and thus prove violations,” he added.
Applying the technology has become more urgent as the company recorded a decrease of clear dedicated Transjakarta lanes from 55 percent in 2016 to 51 percent last year, he said.
