TransJakarta ticket passangers

Trans Jakarta Tickets-Wikipedia
The cost of a TransJakarta ticket (November 2011) is Rp. 3,500 (about US 40 cents) per trip, or Rp 2,000 at concessional times. Passengers who change direction or who transit to another corridor do not need to pay again provided they do not exit the shelter.

Passengers first buy a single paper trip ticket. To enter a shelter, passengers show their tickets to an attendant. There are plans to introduce stored value tickets in 2012.

Tickets - Jakarta news
During rush hours, people from upper or middle classes (one of the main targets of TransJakarta) usually prefer to use private cars or taxis to avoid inconvenience of the overcrowded Transjakarta buses even though they have to bear with traffic jams instead. Many passengers are thus lower middle class people who are ex-users of other less comfortable and/or more expensive commercial buses.

This situation is at odds with one of the initial objectives of TransJakarta which was to reduce traffic jam during rush hours by persuading private car owners to use comfortable public transport.

There is a special program for the student groups called Transjakarta goes to school. Participants in program there are assigned a dedicated bus. The aim is to train students to stand in line, be decent, and prefer public transport than personal vehicles.

TransJakarta Shelter Bus

http://seminarap2011.blogspot.com
TransJakarta shelter are also different from ordinary bus stops. They are usually located in the middle of the road and are reached by elevated bridges. The stops in front of the well-known Sarinah shopping center on Jl Thamrin in Central Jakarta have lifts.

The shelters are made of from aluminum, steel, and glass. Air ventilation works through fins on the aluminum part of the shelter. Floors are made from tread plate. The doors of shelters open automatically when a bus arrives. Some of the connecting elevated bridge ramps have gentle slopes (with some exceptions) to accommodate the disabled. One disadvantage of some of the ramps is that passengers need to walk a relatively long way up the ramps, and then double back, to reach the boarding shelters. The floors of the bridge are mostly tread plates, although some are made from concrete. One problem with the tread plate is that considerable noise is generated by the movement of passengers across the tread plate surfaces. Another problem is that some of the tread plate surfaces can become very slippery during the rainy season when they become wet. There are no sanitary facilities in most of the shelters.

Bus stops are open from 05:00 – 22:00 although opening hours can be extended if there are passengers still waiting at closing time. Shelters often become extremely overcrowded because of long (and sometimes unpredictable) intervals between buses.

A free daily internal bulletin, 'Trans Kota', is occasionally available at selected shelters. The content includes sport, showbusiness, crime, health, various tips and tricks, consumer information and TransJakarta news.
Wikipedia

The large Harmoni Central Busway (HCB) shelter on Jalan Gadjah Mada, Central Jakarta, is built over the Ciliwung River. It is a transit point between Corridors 1, 2, and 3. This 500-person shelter has six doors. Although many trees had to be sacrificed during the construction of it, an old banyan tree was not chopped down because it was considered rich in historical value. However, in October 2006 this tree was vandalized by people from a religious group known as Pemuda Persatuan Islam. Their motive was to show that the tree does not possess supernatural qualities as believed by some people.

Buses Of TransJakarta

Photo Wikipedia

Each bus is constructed with passengers' safety in mind. For example the body frame is constructed using Galvanyl (Zn - Fe Alloy), a strong and rust-resistant metal. There are also eight or ten glass-shattering hammers mounted on some of the window frames, and three emergency doors for fast evacuation during an emergency. There are also two fire extinguisher at the front and back of the buses.

The Mercedes-Benz OH and Hino RG air-conditioned buses are painted red and yellow, with a picture of a young Brahminy Kite, which looks very similar to a bald eagle grasping a tree branch with three snakefruit on it. The buses use special fuel which is (a mix of diesel and biodiesel). For Corridor 2 (bus colors: blue and white) and 3 (bus colors: yellow and red), the buses are CNG-fueled Daewoo buses imported from South Korea. Due to various coachbuilders being involved and design tweaks applied over time, the exterior and interior appearance, quality, and comfort varies from bus to bus operating in the same corridor.

The capacity of each bus is 30 seated and 55 standing passengers, though during rush hours these numbers are often exceeded by up to 80 passengers per bus.

TransJakarta also operates Chinese-made HuangHai and Komodo articulated buses on long and straight corridors, such as Corridor 5.

The passenger doors are higher than on normal buses so that passengers can only board from designated shelters. The doors employ automated folding mechanisms which can be manually controlled by the driver. Because the normal folding doors cannot open properly when the bus is overcrowded, buses on corridors II and III use sliding doors in order to accommodate the surge of passengers during rush hours. Protective full-height acrylic glass barriers are installed behind passenger seats close to the sliding door mechanism.

Seats in all buses face the aisle to optimize passengers' movement during rush hours. Corridor 1 buses use comfortable cushioned bus seats, the buses from subsequent corridors have less cushioned, hence less comfortable, seats.

Each bus is equipped with an electronic board and speakers that announce the name of shelters in two languages, Indonesian and English. Each bus is also equipped with a bi-directional radio transceiver to allow the driver to provide and recaive updated information regarding traffic jams, road accidents or lost items.

To keep the air fresh, especially during rush hours each bus is equipped with automatic air freshener dispensers which periodically spray car fragrance.

In August 2011, TransJakarta operator has installed cameras on one bus for a trial period. The plan is to install 4 cameras on all buses gradually in efforts to improve services such as to inform passengers waiting for buses about how crowded approaching buses are and prevent sexual harassment on its service. As of November 2011 TransJakarta has 524 buses in operation.

History and Several Problem of TransJakarta

Bus TransJakarta - Photo Wikipedia
The first TransJakarta line opened to the public on January 15, 2004. Following two weeks in which it was free to use, commercial operations started on February 1, 2004. It now carries an average of approximately 250,000 passengers a day.

TransJakarta was built to provide a fast, comfortable, and affordable mass transportation system. To accomplish those objectives, the buses were given lanes restricted to other traffic and separated by concrete blocks on the streets that became part of the busway routes.

There were some initial teething problems, such as when the roof of one of the buses rammed into a railway tunnel. In addition, many buses had technical issues such as broken doors and stop buttons.

In order to promote gender equity, TransJakarta is increasing the number of female driver recruits. The projected proportion is 30% of the total.

The buses run along the following routes:

    January 15, 2004: Koridor 1, Blok M-Kota (soft launch)
    February 1, 2004: Koridor 1, Blok M-Kota (commercial service)
    January 15, 2006: Koridor 2, Pulo Gadung-Harmoni and 3, Kalideres-Pasar Baru opened
    January 27, 2007: Koridor 4, Pulo Gadung-Dukuh Atas 2, Koridor 5, Kp. Melayu-Ancol, Koridor 6, Halimun-Ragunan, and Koridor 7 Kp. Rambutan-Kp. Melayu opened
    February 21, 2009: Koridor 8, Lebak Bulus-Harmoni opened
    December 31, 2010: Koridor 9, Pluit-Pinang Ranti, and Koridor 10, PGC Cililitan-Tanjung Priok opened.

    March 18, 2011 Corridor-9 was the solely corridor served until 11.00 pm. Followed by Corridor-1, with intersection with Corridor-9 at Semanggi shelter, but not all of shelters serve in this program.

    May 20, 2011 Corridor-2 and Corridor-3 initialized to serve until 11.00pm, but only open 9 shelters out of 22 on Corridor-2 and 9 out of 13 shelters on Corridor-3 remain open during the extended hours.    July 1, 2011 Corridors-4to7 have already began with the late night service, so all corridors now has already deployed late night service, except Corridor-8.

    September 28, 2011 the feeders have been launched with Route 1 from West Jakarta Municipal Office to Daan Mogot, Route 2 from Tanah Abang to Medan Merdeka Selatan and Route 3 from SCBD to Senayan. The fare will be Rp.6,500 ($0.72), which cover tickets for both the feeder service and TransJakarta buses.

From January to July 2010 there were 237 accidents involving TransJakarta buses, resulting in 57 injuries and eight deaths. Accidents occurred due to pedestrians crossing the busway and cars making u-turns. In 2011, in an effort to stop non TransJakarta vehicles using the bus lanes, the Jakarta Police Chief suggested that TransJakarta buses should run against the direction of traffic flow. Usually non TransJakarta vehicles used busway lanes during peak hours between 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.
