Trans Jakarta
Transjakarta is the managing institution Bus Rapid Transit ( BRT ) or better known as Busway . TransJakarta current institutional form is Public Service Agency ( BLU ) which is under the supervision of the Department of Transportation Government of DKI Jakarta . BLU TransJakarta Busway is responsible for managing that includes planning , operation and maintenance . TransJakarta Busway began operation on January 15, 2004 and is the flagship program of the Government of Jakarta for the development of bus -based public transport . TransJakarta Busway is a pioneer of public transport reform that prioritizes comfort , security , safety and affordability for the community .
Joko Widodo, the Governor of Jakarta, recently announced the opening of 20 new bus routes for TransJakarta, with a focus on routes that will reduce the number of cars on the city's streets. The buses will connect some of the city's older, more elite housing complexes with the BRT corridor, allowing Jakarta's wealthier residents to easily access the full extent of the system's network. The Governor was hopeful that this strategy would persuade middle-to-upper class workers to switch to public transportation, saying, "The buses are convenient. We expect residents to switch from private cars to TransJakarta buses." Two of the new routes have already begun operation, with the goal of 20 routes focused on vehicle-reduction opening in the near future.
Encouraging wealthier residents to use BRT is an important part of reducing both congestion and emissions. For higher-income riders, BRT provides a comfortable, accessible, efficient system that save time and effort. The TransJakarta buses will reach higher-income residents near their homes, then enter the dedicated bus lanes to cut through Jakarta's busy streets. This maximizes the benefits of the system by making it easier to commute and more attractive to reduce the use of a personal vehicle. At the same time, ITDP is helping TransJakarta reach out to lower-income residents. A new project exploring non-motorized transit (NMT) around TransJakarta stations will look at accessibility in low-income neighborhoods and recommend ways to improve the system's reach in these areas. Currently, pedestrian and NMT access to stations in many neighborhoods is lacking, due to insufficient sidewalks or pedestrian pathways.
TransJakarta facilities and infrastructure designed specifically to function as a transport system that is capable of carrying passengers in large enough quantities . Infrastructure , management , control and planning of TransJakarta Busway system is provided by the local government of Jakarta , while the bus operations and the receipt of payment of the ticket system in cooperation with the private sector . With 12 lines and 134 kilometers of dedicated lanes, TransJakarta is well poised to bring BRT's benefits to riders from all backgrounds. Transjakarta is the backbone of public transportation in Jakarta, and system operators, as well as ITDP, are working to extend its reach to all city residents. Under the system's new management by BUMD, the changes and improvements to routes and accessibility will be streamlined. ITDP continues to support TransJakarta as it improves its services for all of Jakarta's residents.
