Therefore, the traffic uses mostly two lanes. The BRT lanes can be implemented while
maintaining the actual capacity for mixed traffic if:
o The sidewalks are reconstructed and preserved only as a walk way.
o Parking and other uses on the first lane are forbidden and controlled (this means
permanent policeman allocated to patrol this section)
If the above cannot be implemented, it is recommended not to implement BRT exclusive
lanes on this 1.2 km section, just use the left lane as a normal lane, shared by BRT and
general traffic.
Directional traffic goes up to 2400 pcu/hour. According to the standard of 400
pcu/meter, the general traffic would need only 2400/420 = 5.6 meters.
In the near future, volume could increase by 30% and therefore the general traffic would
need 7.4 meters.
However, there is not enough space to provide 7.4 meters for the general traffic. The
existing space of 5.6 meter is only enough for the present volume, so we suggest Jakarta
government to acquire land to obtain a wider section.

Presently, for the first 100 meters from Pulo Gadung terminal, there is a signalized right
turn conversion from west to enter south to the terminal, and boarding and alighting on
buses and associated street vendors on this section is very intensive. If the BRT were
implemented, saturation degree would be above 100% and considerable congestion will
occur on peak periods. While bus lane for this segment would certainly give a big travel
