JAKARTA - The Transjakarta bus route to the Soekarno-Hatta Airport (Soetta) area began testing this morning. The trial was carried out for two weeks

Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta Heru Budi Hartono and his staff tried this trip together with a number of airport employees.

Buses started departing from 07.31 WIB. There were 18 bus stops that were passed by non-BRT Transjakarta to Soetta. At the airport, the bus stopped at the cargo terminal of Soetta Airport after a 43-minute trip.

The bus he was traveling in was indeed escorted by vehicles from the Transportation Service during the trip to the airport. However, Heru emphasized that the length of time the trip on other buses was not much different.

"Earlier, because it was guarded, the speed was reduced by half, our position was 30 (kilometers per hour), stable. In general, the speed could be up to 40-50. Prior to this trial, the Department of Transportation had previously tested with public tests not being guarded and normal speeds, about 40-45 minutes. long, "said Heru at Soetta Airport, Banten, West Java, Wednesday, July 5.

The operation of Transjakarta buses on the Kalideres Terminal to Soetta Airport is only scheduled for the morning and evening, which is 06.00 WIB-09.00 WIB and 18.00 WIB-21.00 WIB.

During the operation, there were 10 Transjakarta buses that served the special route to the airport. "We'll see developments. If it's not enough, we'll add it," said Heru.

During the trial for the next two weeks, Transjakarta services to Soetta have not been set for tariffs or are still free. The DKI Provincial Government has not yet determined how much the tariff will be after the trial is completed from this service.

"Regarding the tariff, it will be calculated in accordance with the analysis of independent colleagues. Over the next 2 weeks the tariff will still be 0 rupiah," explained Heru.

The former mayor of North Jakarta emphasized that Transjakarta services to Soetta Airport are intended for the general public and not specifically only airport workers.

"If asked who serves? Everyone, the community. Of course, to reduce traffic congestion, the second is to serve the people of DKI Jakarta and its surroundings so that they are comfortable carrying out their daily activities," he explained.
