JAKARTA - Transjakarta services experienced delays during rush hour Monday morning due to rain and traffic congestion at a number of points. Travel time disruptions occurred on Corridor 13, Route 13B, Route L13E, and Route JAK 107.
Head of the Transjakarta Public Relations and CSR Department, Ayu Wardhani, said the delay was triggered by heavy traffic conditions, especially around the Jakarta Outer Ring Road (JORR).
