Subsidized Economic Tickets (PSO) still get subsidies from the government, so the rates are cheaper and more affordable for the wider community.
"The TBA-TBB tariff system ensures a balance between the company's operational interests and consumer protection. With the support of the Public Service Obligation (PSO) subsidy and supervision from the Ministry of Transportation, KAI continues to be committed to providing safe, comfortable, and affordable public transportation for all levels of society," concluded Ixfan.
