Get ready for more traffic jam! Yesterday I passed S. Parman street in front of Slipi Jaya Plaza just found that workers were preparing for busway lane construction. It must be a heavy traffic since this main road is very crowded during day. It must be Busway Line 9: Pinang Ranti – Pluit. Can you imagine that is a main path from North to the South East? Although it will cover all the city with busway, but I just can’t imagine how my way is to city if I don’t take toll-road starting from tomorrow.
Although it is expected to operate on September 2008, new buses for those corridors have not been ready yet. So they are considering to open one or two corridors or delay all of them until end of the year.
So the govenment is building new lines:
Line 8 Lebak Bulus Terminal – Harmoni Central Busway Length: 18 km
Lebak Bulus-Ciputat Raya-TB Simatupang-Pasar Jumat-Metro Pondok Indah-Iskandar Muda-Teuku Nyak Arif-Letjen Supomo-Jl Panjang-Daan Mogot-S Parman-Tomang Raya-Kyai Caringin-Balik Papan-Suryopranoto-Harmoni.
Line 9 Pinang Ranti Terminal – Pluit Length : 15 km
Terminal Pinang Ranti-Pondok Gede Raya-Raya Bogor-Mayjen Sutoyo-Mt Haryono-Jl Gatot Subroto-S Parman-Prof Latumeten-Jembatan Dua-Jembatan Tiga-Pluit
Line 10 Cililitan -Tanjung Priok Terminal Length: 15 km
Terminal Cililitan-Mayjen Sutoyo-DI Panjaitan-Jendral Ahmad Yani-Yos Sudarso-Enggano-Terminal Tanjung Priok.
See my recommendation and see the new corridor map:
