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
