PATAS bus needed

PATAS bus needed

From Neraca

I think the state-owned Jakarta Transportation Company (PPD) or other transportation companies need to provide more limited- passenger buses plying Ciledug - Pulogadung. The route should include Jl. Kramat Raya.

It should be noted that Ciledug residents and people living around that area now earn more than they used to, so they are able to afford air conditioned buses. They would certainly prefer to pay Rp 1,300 to ride in an air conditioned bus (PATAS AC) to riding an ordinary crowded bus. The company doesn't have to worry about competition from other transportation agencies because most buses use the Jl. Pemuda route. At present only PATAS 36 goes along Jl. Kramat Raya. So the market is promising.
