My entire life on the bus

After reading so many articles about how so many damaged busway and it's bus stop keep on operating it made me start to pay attention when I was on the busway last Saturday.

All these times I hardly feel the cool air from the air conditioner on the busway when there were many passengers. And even there were fewer passengers we are not going to feel cool inside especially with the heat outside. So yo9u can imagine if these two combined to each other.

And at that time, I found something torn above that could slap passenger's head. Probably it will not take long before finally hit the passenger and fall on the floor. And when I was standing outside I notice for the first time how the previous good looking busway now just the same with old rotten regular buses.

Happy New Year 2011

Good morning all! First of all, want to wish you HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011! Hopefully is going to be another best year ever to us...and of course in terms related to public transportation.

Well, I have not been using much of buses and busways recently. The buses seems to be running slow as most of their passengers already on holiday. On the other hand, passengers on busways were escalating during the holiday which made me feel...swamped...

With the opening of two more corridors frankly I still have doubts whether is going to solve any transportation problems here in Jakarta. During December road for busway at Sudirman street was damaged and need repairing. As the result, busways have to use regular street along with other cars and traffic jam happened. Again. I sincerely hope that with the new year, they will have more buses for busways so we could avoid standing in line for hours and reach our destination sooner.

Any hopes for regular buses? Nope... With them, getting safely at my destination already a bonus and expecting nothing more.

Anyway, I have been browsing here and there and found this interesting site about Trans Jakarta aka Busway... You may want to take a quick peek at it...

See you at another day :)
