JAKARTA (JP): New busway corridors in Jakarta seem to lack buses which force many passengers to wait for more than 15 minutes to get a busway while others cancel their trip with the busway and decide to take motorcycle taxi "ojek".
As monitored by the Jakarta Post in Pasar Festival, Kuningan, South Jakarta busway stop, several passengers grumbled as they did not expect that they had to wait the busway for more than 10 minutes.
"I have never experienced to wait a busway like this before," said a woman passenger."In Blok M-Kota route the busway arrival is faster."
As traffic jam was so terrible in the Menteng-Kuningan cross road along with the busway route, it took almost one hour for her to go from Pasar Festival to Dukuh Atas, Sudirman with the busway.
By an ojek, a person only needs 15 minutes to travel in the same distance.
Because of the traffic jam and the slow arrival of the busway, some passengers finally decided to cancel their trip with busway and take ojek to go to their destination.
Jakarta Transportation Agency Nurahman reportedly said the new busway corridors would only begin serve passengers at their normal pace in April.
At present, the new corridors indeed lack buses to serve passengers, he said.
