“ There is so much unworthy Transjakarta bus fleet, that’s why I urge them to tightly monitoring ,” he said at Sari Pan Pasific Hotel, Central Jakarta, Wednesday (10/21).

Ahok acknowledged the current number of Transjakarta bus remains limited. Therefore, its procurement keeps being pushed.

“The company should purchase the good one,” he uttered.

Nevertheless, he asked Transjakarta passengers to be more patient. This is because there is a difficulty to purchase a new bus with a huge number and he will certainly not to import any Transjakarta fleet for boosting domestic economy.
