JAKARTA - PT Transport Jakarta (Transjakarta) has built three major integration stops to facilitate the mobility of customers from various areas of Jakarta and buffer cities. "Jakarta will have three stops later, such as Harmoni, namely Monas, Cakra Selaras Wahana (CSW), and UKI (Indonesian Christian University) which will be very large later," said TransJakarta Operations and Safety Director Daud Joseph when confirmed in Jakarta, Sunday, September 10. He hopes that the bus stop will later become a transit center, namely CSW to accommodate the South Jakarta to UKI routes into entrances from the area, such as Depok, Cibubur, to Bogor. For the Monas bus stop, TransJakarta coordinated with PT Moda Raya Terpadu (MRT) to plan to extend the bus stop from 26 meters to about 70 meters. When asked about the development plan, he could not confirm it because he was still communicating further with the MRT. He said the work could take four to eight months. "Work can be fast enough, because we ask that fast materials be built so that services to customers are not disrupted," he said. The Jakarta Integrated Mode Raya (MRT) phase II construction project is still continuing and has an impact on the closure of the Transjakarta Harmoni Bus Stop, Central Jakarta. PT MRT Jakarta (Perseroda) targets the MRT Phase 2A of the Hotel Indonesia (HI)-City roundabout to operate between 2028 or 2029. On that occasion, Daud also hoped that people would get used to waiting in line to prioritize mutual comfort. He also wants the public to understand the existence of a transit culture so they must understand various routes first before boarding TransJakarta. Therefore, his party optimizes one of the bus stops, namely CSW, to become a comfortable transit location for Transjakarta customers.

"Actually, we educate them to transit, CSW is a stop that we make to get used to people in transit," he said.
