We are targeting to operate 100 electric buses this year

PT Transjakarta President Director M Yana Aditya revealed his party would welcome all brand holder agents (APM) who want to cooperate in providing electric buses as a future fleet.

"We warmly welcome agents who want to jointly present electric buses, both local and foreign brands," he expressed, Tuesday (4/19).

They could submit a proposal and then would be processed according to the rules, which aim to ensure that all-electric bus fleets meet a good Minimum Service Standard (SPM).

"We will explore the whole process. If it is following the applicable rules and procedures, we can partner and the electric buses can pave to serve customers," he explained.

He went on to say that the service would continue to be maximized by presenting electric buses to support the Jakarta Langit Biru (Blue Sky) program. It was expected to reduce noise pollution and exhaust CO2 emissions in Jakarta.

"We are targeting to operate 100 electric buses this year and it is hoped all fleets to use electricity by 2030," he uttered.
