Cranes install girder sections along the Cawang-Cibubur route of the Jabodebek light rail transit (LRT) on Sunday (01/20/2019) above the Pasar Rebo interchange in East Jakarta. The LRT network, including the Cawang-Cibubur and Bekasi-Cawang routes, is to be integrated with the TransJakarta bus rapid transit (BRT) to provide the capital’s residents with an intermodal transportation service.
JAKARTA, KOMPAS — The TransJakarta bus system has significantly improved the transportation in the capital over the past 15 years. The bus system has also been adopted in other cities in the country. However, not all are working well.
In January 2004, the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) public transportation system was officially launched in Jakarta. Operating under the TransJakarta name, it first served the dedicated Blok M-Kota Corridor 1 linking North and South Jakarta.
