JAKARTA - Minister of Transportation (Menhub) Budi Karya Sumadi reviewed mass transportation, Sunday 9 June. In this activity, the Minister of Transportation took the Transjakarta bus at the Patra Kuningan Busway Bus Stop until its final destination at the Ragunan Busway Busway Bus Stop.

"My new director-general (Director General of Land Transportation Risyapudin Nursin) wants to ensure that urban mass transportation in Jakarta goes well," said the Minister of Transportation to reporters while on a Transjakarta bus that drove from Patra Kuningan, Jakarta, Sunday 9 June, was confiscated by Antara. In the Ragunan Wildlife Park area, Minister of Transportation Budi walked around and inspected tourism buses parked in the area. He carried out random checks on bus drivers and driving documents as well as the status of passing motor vehicle tests or KIR to ensure the feasibility of bus roads and bus drivers have complete driving licenses. "Throughout the journey the Minister of Transportation Budi greeted a number of residents who used Transjakarta services, and greeted residents in the Ragunan area who used tourism buses and educated them to ensure the feasibility of bus roads before traveling for safety and comfort. He wants all parties to ensure that the community gets reliable and comfortable transportation services.
