DOK ANTARA/Luhfia Miranda Putri.

Head of the DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency, Syafrin Liputo, said that the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government will increase the number of Transjabodetabek buses on a number of routes. One of them is the Bogor-Blok M route.

Syafrin admitted, in the evaluation of Transjabodetabek services, there were many seizures of queues entering the bus on the Bogor-Blok M route because many passengers wanted to use the service.

"There are still residents who are not disciplined to queue, because they feel afraid that the bus will run out, so there is still a culture of grabs," Syafrin told reporters, Friday, June 20.

Syafrin revealed that the seizure of queues on the Bogor-Blok M route occurred due to a significant increase in subscribers. This route is also the Transjabodetabek service with the highest number of passengers, in addition to the PIK 2-Blok M route.

"Like we see information on social media, in the city of Bogor, the queue is extraordinary. Of course we continue to strive to improve the quality of its services, including improving the queue system later in the city of Bogor," said Syafrin.

"We have coordinated and of course improvement efforts will continue to be made so that people are more comfortable, safe, and safe in carrying out their movements," he added.

Therefore, the DKI Provincial Government will increase the number of fleets so that the volume of travel on the Blok M-Bogor route increases and passengers no longer take queues. Additional buses will also be carried out on the Vida Bekasi-Cawang route.

"As in Vida Bekasi, we provide additional buses so that the queues can be immediately anticipated by being given services. Likewise with Bogor. We continue to evaluate," said Syafrin.

The DKI Provincial Government is procuring 200 electric buses this year. Some buses will be used for the Transjakarta fleet on inner-city routes, and some will be used for Transjabodetabek services.

"In the near future there will be approximately 200 units of electric buses that will be operationalized to strengthen Transjakarta services. Once there are additional 200 units in the city, some will be split to strengthen Transjabodetabek services," he added.
