TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The TransJakarta management unit announced that they will continue to serve bus passengers on Eid al-Fitr day that is predicted to take place on July 28. The unit's chief, Pargaolan Butar Butar, said they will increase buses that drive pass tourist destinations. “There are 46 additional buses,” he said when contacted by Tempo, Saturday, July 26.
