As many as 30 patrol cars of the City Police are dispatched to safeguard the Transjakarta bus lanes from trespassers. It is intensified in the morning and afternoon.
"Honestly we still need more personnel. To cover it, we sent patrol cars to the field," said Chief of Operational Section, City Police Traffic Directorate, Adj. Sr. Cmr. Budiyanto, Thursday (2/12).
Post-Eid ul Fitr, Transjakarta Bus Lane Trespasser will Be FinedAdj. Sr. Cmr. Budiyanto uttered each corridor is guarded by two cars. Nevertheless, he has difficulties to secure the lane due to the long road.
"We can only hope the public awareness to not use the Transjakarta bus lanes," he expressed.
As quoted by beritajakarta.com, except corridor I (Blok M-Kota), nearly the entire corridor is often used by motorists. One of them is in the corridor VIII (Lebak Bulus-Harmony).
Along Jalan Artery Pondok Indah until Pengumben Post, there are many cars and motorcycles using the lane. Ironically, personnel looked exhausted and powerless in ousting them.
