The Jakarta administration has launched a new Transjabodetabek intercity bus route connecting the Blok M business and shopping hub in South Jakarta with newly built integrated residential area Pantai Indah Kapuk (PIK) 2 in Tangerang regency, Banten to increase the city’s connectivity with its surrounding regions.
At least 20 buses will serve the 42-kilometer route every day. With 24 stops along the route, the estimated travel time ranges from 80 to 90 minutes, depending on traffic.
The fare for a single trip is set at Rp 3,500 (21 US cents) during regular hours. Meanwhile, buses departing before 7 a.m. only cost Rp 2,000.
Jointly developed by property giants Agung Sedayu Group and Salim Group, the luxurious PIK 2 township project offers a variety of tourist destinations, such as shopping centers, beaches and ecotourism spots. It has recently become a popular weekend getaway destination for Jakartans.
Jakarta Governor Pramono said that the new route would bring more inclusive access to PIK 2.
