PT Transjakarta launched the Mikrotrans or Jaklingko fleet to serve four routes of night transportation service (Amari), Friday (5/31) night.

This is to fill the gap in services that the community needs

Its launching was conducted by Jakarta Transportation Agency (Dishub) Head, Syafrin Liputo accompanied by Transjakarta Main Commissioner, Maj. Gen. TNI (Purn) Untung Budiharto, PT Transjakarta President Director, Welfizon Yuza, and other related ranks.

They took a Mikrotrans from Cililitan Terminal to the Kramat Jati Market Bus Stop and returned to Cililitan using the Transjakarta Bus.

Jakarta Dishub Head, Syafrin Liputo said the launch of the Amari trial is an effort to provide effective and efficient transportation services at night for free. It is also to deal with changes in Jakarta's status as the nation's capital to become a global business and trade city.

"This is to fill the gap in services that the community needs, especially those who are active at night. Because the nighttime activity of Jakarta residents is so high," he expressed, Saturday (6/1).

According to him, it will operate from 10 PM to 5 AM. It will undergo trial for three months and then continue with evaluation.

"During the trial, it is targeted to carry the passenger up to five percent. If the number exceeds the target, there will be additional fleets," he explained.
