JAKARTA - PT. Transportasi Jakarta (Transjakarta) has stopped three bus services today, Saturday, February 20. Services on the three routes were suspended due to rain in Jakarta which caused flooding.

"Several services have been forced to temporarily stop operating considering the waterlog conditions that are not possible for the bus fleet to cross," said Transjakarta Operations Director Prasetia Budi in his statement, Saturday, February 20.

Budi said that these three route services were stopped because they passed Mayjen Sutoyo Road which is currently flooded.

Transjakarta services that have temporarily stopped operating are the BKN-Pondok Kelapa route (7P), Kampung Pulo-Halim via Cililitan (JAK 75) and PGC-Dwikora (JAK 21).

"Meanwhile, the Tanjung Priok-PGC route (Corridor 10) operates with adjustments in the form of route diversion, which temporarily does not pass the Jatinegara Station stop to the Cawang Soetoyo stop," Budi explained.

Budi said, all of these services will return to normal operation if the route is allowing the bus fleet to cross.

"Transjakarta continues to urge the public to stay at home if there is no urgent need. But if you have to leave the house because you are forced to, always make sure to apply 3M, namely wearing a mask, washing hands, and keeping your distance," he concluded.
