Basuki: Transjakarta Corridor I must Be Sterile
Reported by Erna Martiyanti | Translated by
Jakarta Governor, Basuki T Purnama, revealed Transjakarta corridor I (Blok M-Kota) must be sterile. "Considering there are two big projects along the corridor, namely Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) and Semanggi Interchanges," he said, on the sidelines of executive meeting (rapim), Monday (6/13).
We want 3 in 1 lane and Semanggi project are sterile. From south, if it takes half an hour, I think people prefer to ride the bus to go to Blok M-Kota
With sterilization, people are hoped having option to use Transjakarta bus. Basuki will also develop a valet parking via qlue. If it is jammed, the motorist can request for Transjakarta officer's help to park their vehicle in the nearest building. And then switch to Transjakarta bus.
Besides corridor I, several lanes that were formerly 3 in 1 lane must also be sterile. Because it cannot add road ratio anymore. The right policy is by developing public transport.

He uttered the bus headway can be under seven minutes thus giving certainty for passengers. "At corridor I, it is only almost one minute. But in other corridors, it is not enough," he uttered.
He added that such sterilization can also be used for evacuation lane. "That's why Transjakarta bus must be sterile thus we have evacuation lane," he finished.
