PT MRT Jakarta President Director William Sabandar said, on his visit to T-Money's office in Seoul, he learned a lot about the fare mechanism and transit cards that can be used to pay for public transportation costs such as buses, subways, and taxis.
"We have a lot to learn from Seoul. We have the initiative and fares for Jaklingko integration, once public transportation is integrated in terms of facilities, infrastructure, and ticketing, it turns out that there are more passengers. We are in the process of integrating tickets and fares. So with this visit, we can adopt them in the future," he expressed.
