Operators provide busway feeders

JAKARTA: Three bus operators have agreed to become official
feeders for the busway operating from Blok M in South Jakarta to
Kota in West Jakarta.

TransJakarta busway management spokesman Anjar Aedi said on
Wednesday that the three operators were state-owned PPD, Mayasari
Bakti and Steady Safe.

"Passengers can now use feeder service tickets ... The bus
operators will warn crews who reject the tickets," he said,
adding that the agreement had been reached in a meeting between
the busway management, the City Transportation Agency and the bus
operators.

Although the busway established an integrated ticketing system
with feeder buses earlier this year, bus crews have been
reluctant to accept feeder service tickets, preferring cash from
passengers.

Anjar announced that the number of busway passengers had
increased by some 400 per day since the transportation agency
scrapped 12 city bus routes along the corridor last week. -- JP
