Transjakarta busway corridor VIII connecting Lebak Bulus and Harmoni will launch services on Feb. 14, said Hendah Sunugroho, the city's head of road transportation.
Coorridor VIII, serving passengers from Lebak Bulus in South Jakarta to Harmoni, the Central Jakarta busway nexus, is expected to offer a speedy commuter alternative through the heavily trafficked areas of Pasar Jumat, Pondok Indah and Tomang Raya.
Hendah told tempointeraktif.com Wednesday his office would repair all damaged infrastructure, including busway lane dividers and shelters, ahead of the operation.
"The transportation agency has allocated Rp 15 billion (US$1.3 million) for the revamp but we have yet to receive the funds," he said, adding his office was now working on dividers damaged from the heavy rainfall.
The city administration has delayed operating busway corridor VIII several times, citing lack of funds. (ewd)
