Bandung set to operate busway system next week

The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Tue, 12/16/2008 9:45 PM  

Bandung City administration is set to commence operation of its first bus-based mass transportation system, dubbed the Trans Metro Bandung (TMB), on Dec. 22. 

Bandung transportation agency head Timbul Butar-butar on Tuesday said the agency had prepared 15 temporary stops along Jl. Soekarno-Hatta. 

"The construction of permanent stops will be subject to a tender process," Timbul said as quoted by Tempointeraktif.com. 

TMB buses would use the road's slow lane, Timbul said, adding that the agency would use buses belonging to Perum Damri (state-owned land transportation company) that were currently serving the city. 

Jl. Soekarno-Hatta links Cibeureum in the western part of the city with Cibiru in the east. At present there are 11 bus routes that serve Jl. Soekarno-Hatta. (dre)
