T
he Jakarta administration is working with the State-Owned Enterprises Ministry and the Transportation Ministry to integrate all modes of transportation across the city, including routes and payment systems, to help ease customers’ journeys.
It is hoped that an improvement in facilities will attract more passengers with commuters in Greater Jakarta shifting from private vehicles to public transportation and, thus, reducing road traffic.
For that purpose, the city administration and the ministries have set up a joint venture named PT Moda Integrasi Transportasi Jabodetabek.
Mass rapid transit (MRT) operator PT MRT Jakarta, 99 percent owned by the Jakarta administration, will have a 51 percent stake in the joint venture with the remaining 49 percent being held by state-owned railway operator PT KAI.
Directors of both operators signed the agreement on Friday.
The joint venture company will integrate Transjakarta buses, the MRT, Jakarta LRT, Greater Jakarta LRT and Commuter Line services.
“There will be one system that integrates the routes and fares for all public transportation services,” Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan said after the agreement.
