Bogor Regency Launches Two New Electric Buses, Still Free

Bogor Regency Government has launched two electric bus units as part of efforts to provide environmentally friendly public transportation for the community. The launch was carried out directly by Bogor Regent Rudy Susmanto during the Car Free Day event in the Tegar Beriman Street area, Cibinong, Bogor, West Java, on Sunday (5/4/2026). Now, the number of electric buses in Bogor Regency totals four units. Even the routes for the electric bus service have been expanded. “These electric buses use 100 per cent electric power and are 100 per cent free for the public during the trial period. This is our initial step to introduce environmentally friendly public transportation in Bogor Regency,” he said, quoted from an official statement on Monday (6/4/2026). If it receives a positive response from the public, the fleet will be increased and operated permanently through the Buy The Service (BTS) scheme with subsidy support from the central and regional governments. The initial route for the electric bus service connects the Bojonggede Station area to Sentul City with several strategic stops, including AEON Sentul and the TransJakarta Halt in the Sentul Circuit area. “With these buses, people getting off at Bojonggede Station no longer need to use private motor vehicles because the government has prepared onward environmentally friendly transportation,” said Rudy.
