Survey on transportation

JAKARTA (JP): The City Administration started a survey on
transportation between Blok M and Kota yesterday as a preliminary
step to establishing a mass rapid transit system.

Budihardjo Soekmadi, chief of the City Development Planning
Agency, who is in charge of the survey, told reporters yesterday
that interviews with people frequenting offices, shopping centers
and hotels located in the BLok M - Kota corridor were carried
out.

"Interviews with bus passengers and data on the number of
buses on the Blok M - Kota route and the number of passengers are
also required," he said.

The survey is also aimed at learning the public's expectations
of mass rapid transport. "Therefore we hope that people will
cooperate with us in the survey," he said. (sur)
