City drafts bylaw on transportation

JAKARTA: The City Land Transportation Agency (DLLAJ) has completed a draft of a bylaw on city transportation that will soon to be submitted to the City Council.

The head of the agency, Rustam Effendi, said on Friday that the bylaw would govern the city's comprehensive transportation system, which includes bus services, an MRT system and the railway network.

In the future, all large city buses will be integrated into the busway being developed by the city administration. Large buses will only operate on main roads, Rustam said.

Rustam also said that the busway would be supported by other transportation routes served by medium-sized buses, and the medium-sized bus system would be supported by smaller public vehicles.

"All these systems will support each other and operate wherever people go," said Rustam, adding that there was no time frame on when the comprehensive transportation system could be implemented.-- JP
