Recently, the authority launched the Transjakarta busway project whose trunk route
connects the most congested road network in Jakarta central-city. The busway is backed
up with several feeder routes to distribute passengers to and from suburban terminals.
The project is launched to attract middle-class society to shift from cars to public
transport service and to lessen traffic congestion. The concept was firstly initiated in early 2002 by the metropolitan authority and planned to be in operation at the end of the year.
However, recognizing premature concepts of implementation, many parties including
Ministry of Communications and non-governmental organizations urged the metropolitan
authority to postpone the implementation until a substantial improvement was made
(Sumabrata J. et. al., 2003). At that time, it was seen that regulations and operational
concepts, such as ticketing and marketing system, as well as the strategy to handle the impact of decreasing number of lane due to bus lane assignment were not well prepared.
The decision to put the project into operation was finally taken after two year
postponement.
