The Cheap Fare and The Cheap Security

The Cheap Fare and The Cheap Security

TransJakarta or commonly called busway is a bus rapid transport system in Jakarta, Indonesia. The system is modeled based on the successful TransMilenio system in Bogota, Colombia. Busway plan was started in 1997 by consultants from the UK.  At that time it was scheduled bus runs contrary to traffic flow (contra flow) so that lines are not appropriated another vehicle, but was canceled in consideration of traffic safety. Although Busway in Jakarta imitate other countries (Colombia, Japan, Australia), but Jakarta has the most and the longest lines.

TransJakarta ticket fare is Rp. 3500 (December 2006) per trip. Passengers moving point and / or transit across the corridor did not have to pay an additional fare provided it does not get out of the shelter. For passengers who purchase tickets at 5-7 am in the morning, they can obtain tickets at a more economical price of Rp. 2,000.

The Chairman of the Advocacy Indonesia (MTI), Dharmaningtyas, assess TransJakarta bus fare should be increased. Because, he said, since it was first operated on seven years ago, had never been on the busway fare.

"Rates ideal TransJakarta per passenger is Rp 4,000. Amount is deemed still accessible to the public. However also not too political, because it does not rely too much on subsidies from the city administration," said Darmaningtyas in Jakarta, Wednesday, January 4, 2012

But if the rate of transjakarta increased to Rp 4,000. It is still very cheap for the people in Jakarta. But you know, behind the cheapness of Transjakarta rates, security in the busway even this is relatively 'cheap'. Such as many sexual harassment occur  on the bus.  Sexual harassment occurring within Transjakarta increased 100 percent compared to 2010. In 2011 were recorded 8 cases of sexual harassment, an increase from last year's total of 4 cases. Although I am not a transjakarta’s user, but I am quite concerned with the accident like this.

TransJakarta Public Service Agency said the increase in sexual harassment caused by the addition of the corridor into 10 corridors as well as an increase in the number of passengers. Various forms of sexual harassment are often accepted by women on the bus transJakarta. High of immoral acts of sexual harassment on the bus  transJakarta , making PT Public Service Agency (BLU) Transjakarta plans to separate men and women passengers. He will listen to the separation of passengers in the bus. If the passengers get a good response then BLU TransJakarta will impose this on all the corridors in the hope of pressing the wanton acts on the bus. Currently the separation of passengers carried in PT BLU TransJakarta still manually. For male passenger was placed in the back of the bus, while the female passenger was in the front.

I hope this rule must continue. So, all the passengers can feel the comfortable, especially for women passengers.
