TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The integrated bus network (APTB) plans to join PT Transportasi Jakarta (Transjakarta) next June 2016. Bus tariff will be adjusted with Transjakarta by Rp3,500.
Jakarta Governor Basuki T. Purnama admitted that the Jakarta Administration is calculating rupiah per kilometer for APTB bus operator.
"It is hoped that the calculation can be done in June," he said, Tuesday (1/12).
He said that he will not diminish APTB bus since the Jakarta supporting areas citizen needs it.
"We'll not erase APTB bus. We force it to join with Transjakarta. I'll give you Rp8,000 and I'll get Rp3,500," he added.
Basuki also commits to add new buses. One of them is taken from Transportation Ministry by 600 units.
"Central Transjabodetabek will be added by 600 units from 80-90 buses now. You choose between riding ours without additional fee, or APTB," he closed.
