"We will carry out route tests for fleets that are ready as a first step to inform the public," said Dedy. The Ministry of Transportation through the Jabodetabek Transportation Management Agency has started a trial of the buy the service (BTS) service in Depok City, before being inaugurated by the Minister of Transportation Budi Karya Sumadi. The trial began with socialization at the Depok Mayor's Office which aims to introduce Biskita fleet to regional officials in Depok City in regular morning apples.
