This operational change would increase bus speeds and would allow fewer buses to<br />
handle the same number of passengers, making <strong>TransJakarta</strong> more profitable.<br />

Because <strong>TransJakarta</strong> pays by the bus kilometer, this would save 700 bus kilometers per<br />
day and make it possible to use 15 less drivers. It would increase headways at the<br />
terminals by 1.5 minutes.<br />
When Corridor II opens, <strong>TransJakarta</strong> would be similarly well advised to make several<br />
additional adjustments. For example, some buses in the Pulo Gadung to Blok M corridor<br />
might turn around at Senayan.<br />
I. 6. Institutional Issues with <strong>TransJakarta</strong><br />
I.6.a. Improve technical decision making<br />
While <strong>TransJakarta</strong> is working well, physical design decisions significantly reduced the<br />
system’s capacity. In the future, from an institutional perspective, it is imperative that the<br />
Governor empower someone with sufficient technical grounding in Bus Rapid Transit<br />
system design to make the final decisions on design and routing in future corridors.<br />
This could be done either by giving a technical person outside of the transportation<br />
agency (DisHub) veto-power over DisHub’s final designs, by improving the technical<br />
understanding of the leadership at DisHub, or by transferring the planning powers to<br />
<strong>TransJakarta</strong>. Any of these actions would still be insufficient to ensure good technical<br />
outcomes.<br />
In our opinion, the best scenario to improve operating efficiency at <strong>TransJakarta</strong> would<br />
be to change <strong>TransJakarta</strong> from a BP to a PT, a publicly-owned company. <strong>TransJakarta</strong><br />
ideally would have a Board of Directors chaired by the Governor, with representation by<br />
the Managing director of <strong>TransJakarta</strong>, ,the City Planning office, the Office of Landscape<br />
Architecture, Transportation (DisHub), and Public Works. If the national government<br />
becomes involved in financing future <strong>TransJakarta</strong> corridors, representatives of the<br />
