Busway in Jakarta

I think with the presence of Busway in Jakarta, it only cost more traffic jams everyday, not only work hour. Yes, there's millions of people use Busway as their transportation and its very cheap. but when it comes to money problem, I think Busway has the biggest earning in public transportation in Jakarta, but the Quality for the bus is still the same, still a little bit dirty, and over crowded. also. arrival of the bus in the station very rarely, sometimes we need to wait more than 20 minutes ?

I still love a motorcycle go around Jakarta. But I look a new "coridor" Cililitan-Tj Priok is useless because if I live in Priok and working near UKI, it's better go by ordinary bus like as Mayasari Bakti, Bersama Bus or 89 Bus. You just pay Rp 2000-2500, and via Toll Road and just 15 minute! If you want to know, the separator until now is broken!

Just like you, I prefer to take busway instead of my personal car and taxi. Taxi is too expensive today event I use the old price, there is not much different. Todau, traffic jam is unbelievable. Can you imagine I drive from my home in Cinere to Thamrin take 3 hours. So, I've been dropped at Blok M and continued by Busway, it's only take 1.5 hours (from home to thamrin) I save 1.5 hours. I suggest to other using personal car, if you want to avoid the traffic jam, please use busway, and for busway operator please add more bus so we don't have to wait too long at the shelter :-)

I rarely take common buses nowadays. I also take TJ / busway to go everywhere because it is faster than the common buses, talking about the special track. However, I notice that some motorcycles would still enter the special track. Sometimes the passengers of busway would also feel annoyed just the same like the TJ driver. Well, compared with the common buses, busway is more crowded, and I still don’t like the way we enter in the bus because people would just rush for the door, won’t care about the safety of anyone else, and unwanted things would happen if we don’t take cautious on the steps, we might fall down to the street from the shelter, and that would be an ... ouch! Some people never pay attention to the lines. Sometimes there were no guard at the lines and those who really obeyed the lines would get mad at the later people who ‘cheated’ in order to enter the bus earlier. I should count myself being lucky if I have gotten a seat in the bus.
