Transjakarta also continues to implement health protocols during transitional period of PSBB. It includes operational health and safety protocols for Transjakarta employees and passengers such as sanitation, bus hygiene, and BRT bus stops which cleaned before and after use.

"Also, self-protection protocols for our employees and passengers that require them to wear masks and maintain physical distance in queuing or sitting in the bus," he mentioned.

There are things that should be obeyed by Transjakarta users in bus stops and on the bus. First, Transjakarta users should be in healthy state and fit with normal body temperature. Officers on duty will not allow people with body temperature above 37 degrees Celsius to enter the bus.

Second, minimum distance between people who are queuing is one-arm or 1.5 meters. Third, the bus stop's maximum capacity is 50 percent from normal days. It means, when it has reached maximum capacity, bus stop will be closed and Transjakarta users should queue outside of bus stop. According to her, it is better to queue outside than inside of bus stops to prevent COVID-19 transmission. Bus stop will be opened again when the capacity is available.

"Fourth, we remind people to use mask any time you leave the house, at bus stop or on the bus. Fifth, please do not jostle when entering bus," she closed.
