Busway offers school visits

JAKARTA: TransJakarta wants more elementary school students to use its busway routes and is offering to visit schools to promote the idea of safe and efficient public transport, the company says.

Company general manager Irzal Djamal said the staff from the company would share their experiences with children about riding busway buses.

Staff would explain the company's vision for public transport and educate children on how to travel politely and safely, he said.

The company had transported more than 2,000 students to and from elementary schools since January.

"We normally prepare a tour guide to help children learn more about the transportation," Irzal said.
