Jakarta capital city government is about to cooperate with Istanbul government, Turkey related to bus rapid transit (BRT) development in order to complete city transportation system. As planned before, control system and traffic management will be discussed during a meeting.
Jakarta Governor Fauzi Bowo said Istanbul has already succeed implementing low cost-effective traffic management control system. It is hoped similar system can be applied here.
“Istanbul installed many cameras and monitored with self-development software. We`ll review the system further to be applied here,” he said at City Hall, Friday (7/8).
Bowo realized Jakarta has different traffic condition with Istanbul. BRT in Istanbul has been organized well and able to connect both European and Asian Istanbul. It also carries huge number of passengers by using articulated buses.
“They have less traffic jam since separators are fenced. The system is using multiple articulated bus and able to go with high speed,” he added.
According to him, society discipline must be improved before applying the system in Jakarta.
“We have to improve society discipline to avoid them using special bus lane such as Transjakarta bus lane,” he expressed.
