JAKARTA - The 40 kilometer Trans Java (Central Java) corridor bus will operate in 2023.

Thus, a total of 7 corridors are fully operational in the Central Java region.

Transportation observer Djoko Setijowarno said that as long as the corridor is served, 14 buses will be low-floor with a total of 128 bus stops.

"At least, the presence of a Trans Central Java Bus corridor in the Wonogiri region can help reduce traffic accident victims," Djoko said in a written statement, Monday, February 20.

Based on data from the Wonogiri Police, said Djoko, the number of accident victims in the area during 2022 reached 2,408 people.

Of that number, as many as 567 people or 24 percent of them were student victims.

A total of 14 students are known to have died, 391 students were slightly injured, and 612 students were not injured.

"With the operation of the Trans Jateng bus corridor Surakarta-Wonogiri no later than August 2023, it is hoped that it will reduce the number of accidents, especially among students," he said.

To date, six Trans Jateng Bus corridors have been operating, including the Bawen Terminal (Semarang Regency)-Tawang Station (Semarang City) along 43 kilometers with 28 bus fleets and 88 bus stops, the Bulupitu Terminal corridor (Purwokerto City)-Terminal Bukateja (Purbalingga Regency) along 42 kilometers with 14 bus fleet units and 60 bus stops.

Next, the 52-kilometer Borobudur Terminal (Kutoarjo Regency)-Terminal Borobudur (Magelang Regency) corridor with 14 bus fleets and 72 bus stops, the 28.7-kilometer Bahurekso Terminal (Kendal Regency)-Terminal Mangkang (Semarang City) corridor with 14 bus fleet units and 50 bus stops.

Then, the 35-kilometer-long Terminal Tirtonadi (Solo City)-Terminal Sumberlawang (Sragen Regency) corridor with 14 bus fleets and 84 bus stops, as well as 23 bus stop signs.

Finally, the 34.3 kilometer Godong Terminal (Grobogan Regency) - Penggaron Terminal (Semarang City) with 14 bus fleets, 85 bus stops and 12 bus stop signs.

According to Djoko, the next plan to develop Trans Jateng Bus services, apart from operating the Surakarta-Wonogiri corridor this year, there will be a development into 10 more corridors.

"The challenge going forward is to look for operational funding schemes that do not come from the Central Java Provincial Budget and passengers," he said.

However, said Djoko, it could come from several other sources of funding, such as the Motor Vehicle Tax (PKB), BUMN Social and Environmental Responsibility (TJSL), Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) of private companies, allocation of part of the Education Budget, advertising installation, smart stop (smart stop) with the Public Transport Information System (PTIS).

"It does require more regulations to strengthen the disbursement of additional funding schemes," he said.
