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.
