"Usually, we always find old and damaged fleets from the otobus company. That's why we prepare 200 back-up buses," said Head of Outside-City Kalideres Terminal, Joko Sukarno, Wednesday (7/16).

Sukarno added 200 fleets are owned by three otobus companies, namely Blue Bird, Pahala Kencana, and Sinar Jaya. By so, it is hoped able to prevent passenger surge during homecoming flows on 3 days before Eid ul Fitr.

"Besides urging otobus company to optimize their fleet, we also have cooperated with 3 companies for additional fleet," he told.

He continued there would be assistance from 17 private companies for free homecoming. They are divided into two companies, such as finance and retail which will serve homecomers from four locations Senayan, Monas, Kemayoran, and Polda.

"As many as 17 companies will provide free homecoming program. Surely, it will also help additional fleet," he expressed.

According to him, the Kalideres Terminal also prepares night service post by deploying six Transjakarta buses which operates at 11 PM-5 AM. "Those are planned to serve corridor III, that is Kalideres-Harmoni-Pulogadung," finished Head of Inter-City Kalideres Terminal, Fredy Manalu.
