Will people support the Jakarta administration’s policy to limit the use of private vehicles? Will people shift to public transportation, say like Kopaja or Metromini?
Chairman of PT Koperasi Angkutan Jakarta (Kopaja), Nanang Basuki, said that the company started to improve services last year in order to attract motorists.
Based on a survey regarding passenger satisfaction, they were mostly satisfied with the service but not with the bus’ travel times (The Jakarta Post). A new transport system is recently introduced: the integrated bus network (APTB) feeder system. In the system, the APTB buses are allowed to get in the Transjakarta Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) exclusive lane and share bus stops. In the near future, the city administration could include public minibuses such as Kopaja and Metromini in the APTB.
Well, just wait and see. So far that we know here, Bus Drivers mainly of Kopaja and Metro mini are governors of the street and their conductors are the bravehearts to create a great stunt show on the street by blocking other vehicles for passengers. Don't get offended when they innocently bluff you for slowing down their operation or transferring you to another bus due to a traffic jam's problem or just want to turn back to get more passengers.
"It's jakarta, man!" My cynical friend likes this yell.
