context_page_description: TransJakarta is a bus rapid transit system in Jakarta, Indonesia. The first BRT system in Southeast Asia, it commenced operations on 15 January 2004 to provide a fast public transport system to help reduce rush hour traffic. The system is considered as the first revolutionary public transit mode in the capital city of Indonesia. The buses run in dedicated lanes, and ticket prices are subsidised by the regional government. TransJakarta has the world's longest BRT system, which operates about 3900 buses. As of February 2020, it serves an average of 1.006 million passengers daily.
context_section_description: TransJakarta was built to provide a fast, comfortable, and affordable mass transportation system. To accomplish those objectives, the buses were given lanes restricted to other traffic and separated by concrete blocks on the streets that became part of the busway routes. The first TransJakarta line opened to the public on 15 January 2004. It was free for the first two weeks, after which commercial operations started on 1 February 2004.
  At present TransJakarta has 13 primary routes and ten cross-corridor routes. In addition, there are 18 "feeder" routes that serve beyond the exclusive busway corridors to serve satellite cities in Greater Jakarta. TransJakarta has a total of 155 routes as of January 2019 (corridor, cross route, and feeder route), a significant increase from 41 in 2015. The number of TransJakarta buses has also increased dramatically, from 605 buses in 2015 to 1500 in 2017, and plans to double that number. The fare has remained Rp 3,500 (27 US cents) per passenger since operations began. The service set a record in 2018 when it carried 730,000 passengers per day, a significant jump from 331,000 per day in 2015. About 189.8 million passengers used TransJakarta in 2018 and targeted to serve one million passengers daily.
  As of September 2019, Transjakarta is currently testing electric buses, with Bundaran Senayan – Monas as its first route.
