As many as 30 of our buses have been paved in the framework of the target of 100 electric buses used by the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government this year", said Anin who quoted Wednesday, March 9.
The daughter of Aburizal Bakrie said that the approach to the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government has been carried out for the last 3.5 years. To do this, the Bakrie Group first conducts a public test.
Not only with DKI Jakarta led by Anies, but the Bakrie Group collaboration electric bus has also been tested in Bali, Aceh, and Bogor.

Meanwhile, the Governor of DKI Jakarta, Anies Baswdan, said that the use of electric buses was a target for his party to bring Jakarta as a solution to reduce carbon emissions from vehicles. This electric bus project will initially be used on the existing line as a pilot.
"Electric buses are our real action to support the Indonesian government's battery-powered electric vehicle acceleration program", he said in a virtual discussion last week, March 1.
He said the procurement of many electric vehicles was an effort to accelerate the realization of clean mobility for Jakarta.
"So we have also promised to convert our Transjakarta to electric buses. This is our BRT Network", said Anies.
