“As much as 78 buses will arrive at the first phase. Later on, there will 300 buses arrived in the city,” he said, Friday (7/31).
Those buses will operate outside Jakarta and passing on Transjakarta bus lane. No additional charge for Transjakarta passengers if they want to ride this bus. "Outside Jakarta passenger only pays Rp9,000," he added.
