JAKARTA - In recent times, it has been widely discussed about dozens of Transjakarta buses not being operated even during peak hours. Even though many Transjakarta bus stops are crowded with passengers lining up to wait for the arrival of the bus.

Head of Transjakarta Corporate Secretary Division Anang Rizkani Noor explained that actually all Transjakarta fleets can operate. However, his party deliberately operates alternately.

"All buses are carried out periodically as a whole. So it's not true if there are buses that are neglected. We will operate them alternately," said Anang in his statement, Tuesday, December 27.

Anang ensured that buses that were not operating were not allowed to stall or not be treated, but because there were alternating operating schedule arrangements.

The schedule itself, said Anang, has been carried out for a long time since the number of viral infections due to the high COVID-19 pandemic, which has finally reduced many TransJakarta bus routes to inhibit transmission in 2020-2022.

Until now, most of the routes have started to open, but some are still closed, which has an impact on the presence of several buses that are not fully operational.

Once again, there are no stalled buses. We operate all buses according to the needs of the field. However, it is impossible for us to operate at the same time, there must be backups for anticipation and maintenance," said Anang.

Previously, the DKI Jakarta Government was asked to conduct an in-depth investigation of PT Transport Jakarta (TransJakarta). This is the aftermath of the rise of low-entry TransJakarta buses that are not operated in the Pinang Ranti pool, Makasar District, East Jakarta.

Then, it returned to the spotlight of the Transjakarta bus which was not operated in the Transjakarta pool in Perintis, Jalan Perintis Kemerdekaan, East Jakarta. Reportedly, a number of buses have paralyzed body conditions and defecation tires.
