New bus routes needed

From Bisnis Indonesia

Greater Jakarta needs long distance transportation as a result of the rapid development of areas surrounding the capital.

I think the opening of a new bus route from Pasar Minggu in South Jakarta to Tanjung Priok in North Jakarta, passing the areas of Kalibata, Jatinegara, Matraman, Senen, Kemayoran and Sunter, would help many daily commuters and would at the same time reduce some of the load on other itineraries.

The existing routes compel passengers to change buses too often. This is a waste of energy and time, and is not cost- efficient.
