Had Demonstrated By An Angkot Driver, Transjakarta 10M Pulo Gadung-Mayor Of Jakut Operated Again At The End Of March

JAKARTA - Transjakarta Operations and Safety Director Daud Joseph said the Transjakarta 10M service with the Pulo Gadung-North Jakarta Mayor's Office route will resume operations at the end of March 2024.

"Yesterday we had a meeting with the transportation service until the end of this month a trial decree could be issued so that we can start another operation," Joseph told reporters, Sunday, March 24.

This nonbus rapid transit (non-BRT) service previously operated for one day. However, its operations were stopped because it drew protests to demonstrations by city transportation (angkot) drivers or the transportation of the Kalpika vehicle (KWK) cooperative.

Joseph explained, basically Transjakarta 10M is a service that replaces Metro Mini T41 with the same route.

After the COVID-19 pandemic was over, Metro Mini T41 stopped operating, so the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government assigned Transjakarta to take the route for its new service.

"In the past there were three who served there together, Transjakarta, Metro Mini (T41), and KWK. Well, when COVID is complete, Metro Mini is not there, there is only KWK. Well, it turns out that this route has not been implemented by Transjakarta. So, we do it," explained Joseph.

"On the first day it was just operating, it immediately got 600 customers. So, actually people who live in the Cakung area, Semper, Snake Market, are actually very happy with the existence of Transjakarta. But there is indeed an objection from the KWK," he added.

The opening of the 10M route, which began operating on February 22, serves additions at a number of bus stops on Jalan Raya Tipar Cakung - Plumpang Semper. The Transjakarta service route Pulo Gadung-Mayor of North Jakarta via Tipar Cakung has 82 stopping points.

The route that is crossed at the direction of the Mayor of North Jakarta is Pulo Gadung Terminal - Jalan Raya Bekasi - Jalan Tipar Cakung - Jalan Jalan Tipar Cakung - Jalan Plumpang Semper - Jalan Yos Sudarso - turn back before the Sunter Kelapa Gading Bus Stop - Jalan Yos Sudarso - Mayor of North Jakarta.

Meanwhile, the opposite direction is the Mayor of North Jakarta - Jalan Yos Sudarso - Jalan Plumpang Semper - Jalan Tipar Cakung - Jalan Raya Bekasi - Jalan Perintis Kemerdekaan - Pulo Gadung Terminal.

Just a day into operation, there were dozens of KWK U03 drivers at the Pulogebang Terminal-Terminal Tanjung Priok via Tipar Cakung as a form of rejection of the new route.

The mass action of the angkot driver parked dozens of his vehicles on the side of the road in front of the Sukapura Village office, Cilincing, North Jakarta. So that it makes the road jammed.
