JAKARTA - Minister of Transportation (Menhub) Budi Karya Sumadi officially launched 14 units of Biskita Trans Depok today. The bus is integrated with the Harjamukti LRT Flats, and will operate for free for the next six months.

This Biskita Trans Depok serves the Harjamukti-Margonda LRT Station route. The bus has a waiting time or headway of 10 minutes.

"Today we are with the local government launching Biskita Trans Depok. His name is already cool. It would be cooler if the number increased. So the people of Depok don't have to ride motorbikes," he said at Harjamukti LRT Station, Depok, West Java, Sunday, July 14.

Furthermore, Budi said that the existence of LRT feeders between modes will make it easier for the people of Depok to have alternative public transportation ranging from KRL to Jabodebek LRT.

Feeder LRT between modes, then if we count, let's say those who ride the LRT because it's a 10-minute headway say 2,000, what does that mean? There are 2,000 motorbikes that don't work. They also don't happen at low prices for pollution, traffic jams don't happen," he said.

Therefore, Budi also invited the public to use public transportation more often to avoid congestion while also reducing air pollution.

"We encourage people to use urban public transportation, because now we have traffic jams, pollution and so on," said Budi.
