Microtrans as feeder transport, is integrated with other modes of public transportation
It is not true that JakLingko was removed and replaced with Mikrotrans. Since 2018, Mikrotrans has become a variant of the Transjakarta fleet that has been transformed by the Jakarta Government to be connected to other public transportation.
Mikrotrans is a term for one of the modes of transportation in the form of urban transport cars that are integrated in the JakLingko system. Mikrotrans serves 83 routes and stretches throughout Jakarta. Mikrotrans is here to make it easier for people to reach public transportation from their homes or offices so they can switch to using public transportation when on the move.
