He explained that the increase in customer numbers was also supported by Transjakarta's efforts to expand service coverage, like opening new routes, increasing service hours, operating time, and increasing the number of fleets.

“Transjakarta has also extended its operational service hours to 24 hours. Hopefully, this facility will help the mobility of the community, " he explained.

He added that this effort was in line with the Jakarta administration's target to provide access to public transportation services up to 95 percent of the area's coverage. Transjakarta supports this target by adding and expanding public transportation access.

"Despite fuel prices are high, the Transjakarta fare is still Rp 3,500 for all corridor and non-corridor services, Rp 0 for Microtrans and double-decker bus services, and Rp 20,000 for Royaltrans premium services," he stated.
