"One unit is targeted to serve 25 students thus it is not overcrowded," he stated.
Yansyah determined to add 100 buses next year. The price for one unit reached Rp 300 million.
"It's hoped could serve students optimally," he expressed.
In the meantime, a student of SMPN 50 Jakarta, M Hidayatullah admitted, the current bus is very limited. Every day, student must go to school earlier to get the bus.
"We must arrive to school at 1 PM, but ride bus at 10.30 AM," he closed.
