Dozens of angkots on Jalan Mayor Oking in the Bogor Station (VOI) area

JAKARTA - Bogor Mayor Bima Arya Sugiarto emphasized that Bogor City, West Java will be free of angkot starting December 2023. Currently, the transition process is being carried out by converting public transportation with Bus Kita Trans Pakuan. "The public will not be able to move around this December on the main route (Bogor City), it is in order to welcome LRTs that have not arrived until now," said Bima Arya at the PSN Sewindu event in Jakarta, Thursday 27 July. Bima Arya said that although the Jabodebek LRT has not been connected to Bogor City, eliminating angkots will still be carried out. Later people can rely on Bus We Trans Pakuan. "That's why we made the conversion of public transportation into buses, so we designed trams in order to welcome LRT. If 45 minutes from Baranangsiang to Dukuh Atas it means we have to be ready to build the TOD facilities. Now we are preparing it," he said.

For now, Jabodebek LRT passengers who want to go to Bogor City can transit at Harjamukti Station. From there, the Bogor City Government has prepared a Bus Kita Trans Pakuan which takes passengers to Bogor City. "There is a special unit from Trans Pakuan that connects to Depok Harjamukti in order to welcome it, the train has not arrived yet, but we have followed it first using the Trans Pakuan bus. 24 (July) yesterday it was operational," he said.
