Perumka need more electric cars

An executive of the state-owned railway company, Perumka, has
said that the company lacks the number of electric cars to best
serve commuters in the greater Jakarta area.

Ismani, head of Perumka in Greater Jakarta, said Wednesday
that the company currently operates 36 electric cars a day, far
below their ideal number.

"We hope to one day operate 60 cars a day, serving 180,000
commuters," said Ismani.

The greater Jakarta area includes Jakarta, Bekasi, Tangerang
and Bogor, with the last three areas in West Java.

The greater Jakarta area chapter of Perumka currently receives
Rp 1.6billion (US$745,000) in monthly revenue from ticket sales. (09)
