New Corridor Line for Jakarta Busway

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:

The Cheapest Internet Provider Now Available: FastNet from FIRST Media

This is not an advertising post, just my great pleasure to let you know if you haven't read newspaper couple days ago. Internet Cable now available to Greater Jakarta region at a very low price. Rp 99,000 monthly subscription fee with unlimited access and up to 384 kbps is a very hot offer. Challenging Telkom Speedy should be done on this way, right? Unlimited download is on the way :)

Probably the company name is not familiar enough, but FIRST Media is a new company setup by Lippo Group, previously named as PT Broadband Multimedia Tbk, which offered KabelVision and Digital1 cable tv and internet service to home using Hybrid Coaxial Fiber Cable. All existing setup and infrastructure will be managed by this company. So if you are asking about reability, just ask to some friends who are subsribing to KabelVision or Digital1 internet. My friend who have been subscribing to Digital1doesn't have any major issue regarding reability of service. Existing Digital1 users are directly subscribed to 768 kbps package.
