JAKARTA - PT Transjakarta plans to increase the bus travel time by only 35 minutes from one point to a certain point.
The plan is that the target time of 35 minutes will be applied to a number of bus routes from the South Jakarta area to the city center.
"We will try to break the 35-minute record from several points in the Jakarta area, from south to middle," said PT Transjakarta Operations and Safety Director Daud Joseph to reporters, Monday, May 15.
Several Transjakarta bus routes are targeted to only have 35 minutes to travel, for example from the Ragunan, Fatmawati, or Cililitan areas to the Kuningan area.
Then, the duration of 35 minutes is also planned to be implemented on bus routes from the Penjaringan or Daan Mogot area to the National Monument (Monas) area.
"Another area is dense, we will break the Grogol area to Semanggi with certain guarantees. What time is the guarantee, it's a surprise that hasn't been opened yet," explained Joseph.

On that occasion, Joseph explained the purpose of targeting this 35-minute travel time. According to him, this time is the ideal number for using public transportation in the city by the community.
"What has been in the minds of the people so far, from home to work it shouldn't take more than 1 hour. So, 25 minutes is the distance from his house to the direction of the Transjakarta bus stop, then 35 minutes from the Transjakarta bus stop to the city center stop," Joseph explained.
"So, from there, people should psychologically get out of the house to work, it's not more than an hour," he continued.
To finalize this travel time target, Joseph continued, Transjakarta will also tighten the accuracy of the distance between buses or headways. Also, efforts to sterilize the Transjakarta route from other vehicles.
"Actually, it is not the headway that is the main key. The main key is how to protect when this Transjakarta vehicle goes to its destination, namely in the collider. How is security in the collider so that the bus can still travel optimal speed," he said.
