BOGOR - The Bogor City Government, West Java (West Java) supports efforts to provide Buy The Service (BTS) bus services that will operate in the Puncak tourist area, Bogor Regency.

Head of the Bogor City Regional Development, Research and Innovation Planning Agency (Bapperida) Rudy Mashudi admitted that he had held a discussion meeting with the Bogor City Transportation Service (Dishub) to determine the point of integration of BTS services.

BisKita services operating in Bogor City will be connected to BTS buses being designed by the Bogor Regency Government, namely the corridors of the Puncak and Ciparigi-Cibinong lines.

"Right now (BisKita) there are (choridors) in Cidangiang-Ciawi. If the Bogor Regency Government wants (koridor) Ciawi-Cisaarua, there will be an integration point," said Rudy as quoted by ANTARA, Saturday, January 27.

It was proposed that the integration point between the Ciparigi-Cibinong corridor and BisKita be set at the Simpang Warung Jambu.

"We hope that at Warung Jambu, because from the station, from Ciparigi, we want Katulampa to go down to the Fountain through there. So if people want to shift the mode, it's good at Warung Jambu," he said.

Acting Regent of Bogor Asmawa Tosepu formulated the provision of BTS bus services which will operate in the Puncak tourist area, Bogor Regency.

"We will discuss it together with the TAPD (Regional Government Budget Team) to add one more corridor that leads to Puncak," said Asmawa.

In the near future BPTJ together with the Bogor Regency Government will operate BTS services with the Cibinong-Ciparigi corridor which integrates mass transportation in Bogor Regency with Bogor City.

Asmawa explained that BPTJ then advised the Bogor Regency Government regarding the addition of 1-2 other corridors when BTS services with the Cibinong-Ciparigi route had been running.

"Therefore, for the district government, it will provide support, support, not only in terms of implementation, but also budgeting. Maybe in the 2024 APBD changes," he said.
