TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - PT Transjakarta Operational Director Daud Joseph said that the company is still in the midst of formulating the plan to operate electric buses in Jakarta but is not sure when.
“I will first attempt to design the formula based on the Governor’s noted, what he hopes for, and then I will create a more detailed operational plan,” said Daud on Monday.
As of now, Transjakarta is in the pre-test phase by exhibiting their all-electric bus fleets to the public via public events such as the weekly car-free day in Bundaran HI in Central Jakarta this week.
The company currently has three electric bus fleets where two of them are products of Chinese BYD Company Ltd, meanwhile, another unit is produced by PT Mobil Anak Bangsa owned by retired army general Moeldoko.
The electric buses have obtained a test permit (STCK) which allows it to carry passengers in a limited number and limited area of service.
