Basuki added, the renovation of buses in the city will be conducted gradually for giving the best service to citizens. "Eventually, the operator will change the bus. if they are unable to do that, we give a solution by joining Transjakarta, we pay rupiah per kilometer thus they can be able to pay on credit. And also keep running despite there are no passengers for 10 minutes," he disclosed.
