The Flood Episode

Dark Sky

As usual, in the beginning of the year we have rainy season. The rain pouring down hard on earth and as the result we have another flood session around Jakarta. With the flood all over the city, people find it hard to go around. Schools closed down, either because they were surrounded by flood. Or becoming base camp for the refugees. Busways or any other transportation unable to cross the flooding area. And therefore, workers having difficulty to get to their offices on time. Sometimes, they have to turn back home because the road was no longer there due to the flood.

Happy Birthday to Busway aka TransJakarta

TransJakarta will celebrate their 10 years operation on 25 January 2014. To celebrate it, they give 50% discount to e-ticket users (e-ticket BRI, BNI, BCA, Bank Mandiri, Bank DKI, and Bank Mega) . The special discount started today 15  January 2014 until 22 January 2014. However, if you buy the ticket using cash as usual then the regular price still apply.

Happy Birthday to TransJakarta and hopefully the service will be getting better every day.

Rain = Flood = NO BUSWAY

The year 2013 has passed and now we are in the middle of January 2014, back to our routines. Holiday is so over. And it means we are back to the usual head to head, body to body, cramped together on the bus or any other public transportation.
