The city authorities have licensed a new minibus company to
serve the outskirts of Jakarta and allowed for existing city bus
companies to buy an additional 1,000 buses to strengthen their
fleets.

According to head of the City Traffic and Land Transportation

areas was given to the Koperasi Wahana Kalpika (KWK) cooperative
body.

The four companies which are allowed to have additional bus
armada include Mayasari Bhakti, Mass Trans, Bianglala and another
firm, jointly operated by PPD, Volgreen, Fajar Utama Mandiri and
