Mayor Dedie A. Rachim highlighted that the buses are in good condition and this initiative represents an innovative response to a Rp 300 billion cut in regional transfer funds (TKD), ensuring the vehicles are maintained and provide better service without additional financing burdens. This move aims to optimise existing assets and enhance accessibility in the city.",
        "content": "<p>BOGOR, KOMPAS.com - The Bogor City Government is reportedly\nconducting a study on utilising school buses to serve as feeder\ntransport on Corridors 3 and 4 in Bogor City. Since their launch in 2019\nuntil now, the operation of school buses has not been optimal in the\nRainy City. Students in Bogor still rely on public transportation to go\nto and from school. \u201cWe are studying it, whether it will be managed by\nthe Transportation Department or by Perumda Transportasi Pakuan. This\nwill become a feeder for Corridors 3 and 4,\u201d said Bogor Mayor Dedie A.\nRachim, quoted from an official statement, Thursday (31\/3\/2026). Dedie\nexplained that the current condition of the buses is good and\nroadworthy. This step is claimed to be a breakthrough amid a cut in the\nRegional Transfer Funds (TKD) of Rp 300 billion. \u201cOf course, there must\nbe an innovative utilisation for the buses that have not been optimally\noperated so far, especially so that people who have not been adequately\nserved by transportation can be accommodated. We are trying to utilise\nthem for Corridors 3 and 4. This is still under study, as we assess the\ncondition of the units,\u201d he said. \u201cBecause of the TKD cut of Rp 300\nbillion, there is certainly a missing financing component. It is no\nlonger possible for us to maintain them from TKD, so we must think about\nit. If left idle, they will just deteriorate. This is not a loss, but\nrather can be utilised for the benefit of the community,\u201d he said.<\/p>",
