Transjabodetabek Route Vida Bekasi-Cawang Inaugurated, Bekasi Residents Can Save Costs To Jakarta

JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung inaugurated a new Transjabodetabek service with the Vida Bekasi-Cawang route and started operating today. This route has a length of about 42 kilometers. Before it was inaugurated, a test trip was carried out with a travel time of about an hour and a half.

"The number of fleets in the early stages that we will operate is 12, and hopefully with this new connection, this will make Bekasi people who will go to Jakarta or vice versa much cheaper," said Pramono, Thursday, May 15.

Pramono said that the distance between the arrival of the Transjabodetabek Vida Bekasi-Cawang bus or headway is every 10 minutes of rush hour, and 20 minutes outside of peak hours.

"So, there is a guarantee for Bekasi residents or vice versa, who will use this transportation because this will definitely be a continuous busy hour, because it is dense and in demand by residents, both from Bekasi and from Jakarta," said Pramono.

Continuing, the Mayor of Bekasi Tri Adhianto Tjahyono admitted that his citizens can save on travel costs because the current Transjabodetabek tariffs are Rp. 3,500 and Rp. 2,000 before 07.00 WIB. In addition, several Transjakarta services are also integrated with other modes of transportation.

"Of course this will reduce the burden on the transportation costs of Bekasi City residents. Because if usually, to enter Jakarta, there will be Rp. 15,000 to Rp. 20,000. I think this will certainly increase existing economic activities, savings occur, and more importantly how Bekasi City residents get comfortable, safe, and affordable transportation," explained Tri.

This Transjabodetabek with bus code B41 operates with a travel time of about 160 minutes (going home) during peak hours, and 120 minutes at non-hoil hours. The track length reaches 42.6 km by passing through five stop points (1 point in the DKI Jakarta area and 4 points outside the DKI Jakarta area).
