Bus rapid transit (BRT) – in Jakarta Presentation originally by T. Ari Fitriadi ( ) University of UNSYIAH

Rapid and unconstrained growth of private vehicle use in developing cities has real and significant consequences for cities and the people living in them. Environmental impacts such as degraded air and water quality soon translate into human impacts such as asthma and premature mortality. Cities are often transformed to make way for cars. New roads replace land used for living space, and new viaducts sever neighbourhoods and block non-motorised transport. PRELIMINARY

INTRODUCE TransJakarta (stylised as transjakarta) is a bus rapid transit (BRT) system in Jakarta, Indonesia. The first TransJakarta line opened to the public on 15 January [ It was free for the first two weeks, after which commercial operations started on 1 February [ 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.

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS  All TransJakarta buses (except those with diesel / biodiesel) are CNG-type gas (CNG), and are filled in certain SPBGs. These buses are made using special materials. For interior ceiling ceilings, use fireproof material so that in the event of a spark it will not spread. For the frame, use galvanil, a type of zinc and iron alloy that is sturdy and rust resistant (applies on certain buses).  The bus door uses 3 systems, namely a folding system, a sliding system, and a rotary system that can automatically be controlled from the console in the driver's panel. The door opening mechanism on a single bus corridor 2-8 as well as an articulated bus of the Komodo type has been converted into a sliding system. Near the passenger seats, the rear of which is a shifting doorway, security is made of acrylic glass to avoid bumping the passenger body parts by the sliding door.  Each bus is equipped with electronic bulletin boards and loudspeakers that notify stops that will be passed immediately to passengers in 2 languages, namely Indonesian and English. But on new buses (except Hino TJSB) only use Indonesian, but it rings twice.

CORRIDOR  When TransJakarta commenced in 2004, 15 corridors were planned and 13 are now operational. Corridors 14, and 15 are designed to be a grade-separated elevated BRT line. TransJakarta BRT network is connected with KRL Commuter Jabodetabek and Jakarta MRT in Corridor 13, which was set to be completed in 2016.Jakarta MRT  Other than main BRT routes, TransJakarta operates 11 BRT express routes (shortened version of the normal BRT routes), 25 city bus routes integrated to BRT stations, 10 suburban routes to satellite cities, and 8 routes serving low cost apartments

TRANSJAKARTA MAP

Bus way Line

Transjakarta stops are designed differently from other public transport stops. The platform height (stop floor) is set as high as 110 cm from the road surface, adjusting to the height of the bus door. The location of Transjakarta stops is generally in the middle of the road, except for one-way roads and roads with minimal road boundary areas. Construction of shelters is dominated by aluminum, steel and glass. For some corridors, the construction of the bus stop uses concrete (new stops). Air ventilation is provided by providing aluminum grating on the side of the stop. The floor of the shelter is made of steel plates. The bus stop uses an automatic sliding system that will open directly when the bus has docked at the bus stop but many do not work. Seats, bins (certain buses) are provided inside the bus stop, and information boards about the Transjakarta route or others.

Transjakarta infrastructure facilities  Fleet 1type of bus Transjakarta is operated by using 1347 buses, consisting of single buses and articulated buses. The bus used as a Transjakarta transport fleet is:  Zhongtong Cooperate Bus  Bus with Scania  The Bus Teams Up with Yutong  Hino Bus  Mercedes-Benz Bus  Coach International Bus Level (BCI) Bus  MAN Level Bus  Mercedes-Benz Level Bus

Operator In its operation, Transjakarta is supported by several operator companies that manage fleets that serve each corridor. The operators are: PT. Swakelola Management Unit Jakarta Transportation (TJ) - Corridor 1-12 PT Jakarta Express Trans (JET) (not operating since June 10, 2013) PT Trans Batavia (TB) - (Not operating since January 2016) PT Jakarta Trans Metropolitan (JTM) - Corridors 4 and 6 PT Primajasa Perdanaraya Utama (PP) - Corridor 8 PT Jakarta Mega Trans (JMT) - Corridors 5, 7A and 7B PT Eka Sari Lorena (LRN) - Corridor 5 and PT Bianglala Metropolitan (BMP) - Corridors 9, 10, 12 and Amari PT Trans Mayapada Busway (TMB) - Corridor 9 and 10 Perum DAMRI (DMR / DAMRI) - Corridor 1, 8, 11 Kopaja (starting June 24, 2015) -BKTB, 4, 6A, 7A, and 7B Mayasari Bakti (around 2016) - Plan Corridors 2 and 3 Perum PPD - Corridors 2, 3, 4 and 6

Shelter Transjakarta Construction of shelters is dominated by aluminum, steel and glass. For some corridors, the construction of the bus stop uses concrete (new stops). Air ventilation is provided by providing aluminum grating on the side of the stop. The floor of the shelter is made of steel plates. The bus stop uses an automatic sliding system that will open directly when the bus has docked at the bus stop but many do not work. Seats, bins (certain buses) are provided inside the bus stop, and information boards about the Transjakarta route or others.

TICKETING AND FARES The ticket system at the Transjakarta bus stop since 2013 uses e-ticketing, instead of cash. The corridor operator does not issue the card, but uses a prepaid card issued by the bank. These banks are Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BRIZZI), Bank Central Asia (Flazz), Bank Negara Indonesia (Tapcash, Kartu Aku, and Rail Cards), Bank Mandiri (e-money, e-Toll Card, Indomaret Card, and GazCard), Bank DKI (JakCard), as well as Bank Mega MegaCash. Initially, customers only made ticket transactions by way of Tap In at the Barrier Gate when they entered the stop. Next, as of August 17, 2016, customers must also tap out when they leave the bus stop. Electronic money balances will only be deducted at the time of Tap In (entering the stop). There is no change in rates related to the application of Tap Out. By doing Tap Out, the customer has helped Transjakarta get data about the customer's destination. This data will be used to improve routes and services more optimally according to the needs of loyal Transjakarta users.

Ticketing & Top Up ProceduresCards can be purchased at banks providing prepaid cards and counters at all Transjakarta. sheltersFilling out the balance can be done at ATMs, related banks, and stop counters. The card, (except for Bank DKI (JakCard) and Mega MegaCash Bank), can also be used as Commuter Line tickets.

TICKET COUNTER

Directions for Using Tickets E-ticket users do not have to queue at the bus stop, just by tap-in at the entrance to the stop (barrier) then enter the stop If the balance runs out, then when the barrier door tap-in cannot be played and the card user can refill at the stop or atm counter and the merchant working with the bank. All Transjakarta users who will exit the bus stop to tap out before leaving the final destination. Customers do not need to tap for transit, tap out is only done at the final destination stop.
