JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD) asked for additional operational hours of PT TransJakarta at night, especially if there were major activities in the city center until late at night.

"There are many complaints from our children who come home to watch the night concert. For TransJakarta, it could take up to 23.00 or until 24.00 WIB," said Secretary of Commission B of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Wa Ode Herlina during a working meeting of Commission B of the DKI Jakarta DPRD with PT TransJakarta, quoted by ANTARA, Wednesday, June 7.

According to Wa Ode, many passengers have difficulty returning home at night because the TransJakarta bus operating hours operate until 20.00 WIB.

As a result, passengers have difficulty finding other transportation alternatives.

Not only about the operating hours of TransJakarta buses, but Wa Ode also criticized the DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency, which was considered less than in unraveling congestion on the TransJakarta bus line.

According to him, there are still many private vehicles entering the lane, resulting in a buildup of vehicles.

As a result, passengers must also be stuck at the TransJakarta bus stop for a long time.

"To the Transportation Agency so that the TransJakarta road is really 'clear' (clean) from private vehicles, motorbikes so that they can chase 35 minutes to seven routes," he said.

Wa Ode hopes that the complaints of residents he conveys can be followed up by TransJakarta for the maximum service of residents.
