Bus and taxi fares

Bus and taxi fares

From Neraca

The Land Transportation Owners Organization's demand that the bus fare be raised should be reconsidered. For people who commute to work in Jakarta daily from Depok, Bogor, any fare increase would be too burdensome.

The organization wants the regular bus fare raised from Rp 250 to Rp 550, for PATAS from Rp 550 to Rp 900, for air conditioned PATAS from Rp 1,300 to Rp 1,600, and the minibus fare from Rp 300 to Rp 550.

The organization also wants taxi fares raised from Rp 900 to Rp 1,500 on flag fall, and from Rp 450 to Rp 550 for each kilometer after the first. It also wants waiting time rates to range from Rp 4,500 to Rp 7,500 per hour.
