Reported by Aldi Geri Lumban Tobing | Translated by Maria Inggita
As reported earlier, Transjakarta will gradually revitalize 11 bus stops starting from Friday (4/15) at midnight.
Bus stops demolition will be carried out in stages at nine bus stops
PT Transjakarta Corporate Secretary Division Acting Head (Plt) Angelina Betris mentioned that Those 11 bus stops were Dukuh Atas 1, Tosari, Juanda, Cawang Cikoko, Bundaran HI, Sarinah, Kebon Pala, Kwitang, Balai Kota, Gelora Bung Karno (GBK), and Jatinegara 2 Train Station.
"They will be demolished gradually because Kwitang and Balai Kota bus stops had been demolished before. Thus, we can continue the revitalization process," he conveyed, Friday (4/15).
46 Transjakarta Bus Stops will Be Revitalized TomorrowThe 11 bus stops, she explained, are part of a total of 46 bus stops that will be revitalized in 2022. They would be closed while the work was in progress for customer safety.
As an alternative, two shuttle bus services had been prepared to serve customers, both from and to the nearest bus stops from the bus stop that was being revitalized.
Those shuttle buses serve for Bank Indonesia (BI) - Bundaran Senayan route which is operated in Corridor 1 and Pecenongan - Juanda route in Corridor 2.
"They operate every day from 5 AM to 10 PM or following the applicable PPKM policy," she informed.
People could take a shuttle bus with a normal fare of Rp 3,500 by tapping the electronic card on the bus for payment.
During the revitalization process, Transjakarta users at Korridor 3 (Kalideres - Pasar Baru) could get off at Pecenongan Bus Stop or Pasar Baru Bus Stop.
Meanwhile, customers at Corridor 5 (Ancol - Kampung Melayu) could get off at Jatinegara Market Bus Stop or Slamet Riyadi Bus Stop; customers at Corridor 9 (Pluit - Pinang Ranti) could get off at Cawang Ciliwung Bus Stop or Tebet BUMD Bus Stop; and customers at Corridor 11 (Kampung Melayu - Pulogebang) could get off at Jatinegara Flyover Bus Stop or Jatinegara RS Premiere Bus Stop.
The revitalization itself will take about 6 months to finish. All bus stops will return to normal operation after the work is complete in December 2022.
