APTB Directed to Apply Rupiah Per Kilometer Payment

APTB should join, thus we can know how much fares that must be paid via per kilometer. We just want it could be integrated. Let’s discuss and find the solution together

Jakarta Vice Governor, Djarot Saiful Hidajat deplored there is no an agreement between Jakarta Transportation Department with the operator of Transjakarta Integrated Border Transportation (APTB) regarding per kilometer payment system. Even, Djarot asked the related unit to hold a meeting to find the solution.

Former Regent of Blitar hoped that the APTB would join in PT Transjakarta management. It means, its operational will use per kilometer system, where it is the same with other Transjakarta bus operators. Thus the public transport can be integrated

“APTB should join, thus we can know how much fares that must be paid via per kilometer. We just want it could be integrated. Let’s discuss and find the solution together,” he uttered, at City Hall, Thursday (5/5).

Djarot mentioned the APTB is much needed by people as feeder. By so, it can attract more people to switch to the public transport. “Our objective is providing the best service to passenger,” he stressed.

As known, the APTB cannot operate in the city because there is no an agreement on payment of rupiah per kilometer system with Jakarta Transportation Department. The bus only allowed to operate until bus stop close to the border between Jakarta and patner region. If the bus is still operated in the city, the route licensing will be revoked.

It was taken after the bus represented by the City Land Owner Transportation (Organda) refused the payment system by Rp 14-15 thousand from PT Transjakarta.
