New Transjakarta buses
disabled-friendly: Ahok
“I have asked PT Transjakarta to buy buses which are friendly to physically challenged groups,” Ahok said on Monday on the sidelines of the launch of Transjakarta’s new logo at the National Monument, Central Jakarta, as quoted by Antara news agency.
Ahok added that the buses, which have been tested by the Jakarta Administration, had several special chairs for the disabled and their handgrips were made lower so that those people could easily reach them.
“In the first phase, we will buy 20 buses. We will buy the buses gradually,” he said.
Ahok said that to date, the administration only bought buses from countries which produced low-quality buses, but sold them at very expensive prices, with some far above the price of international-standard buses.
In addition, Transjakarta president director Steve Kosasih said that in the next two years, the company planned to buy 850 new buses.
“We will scrap the passenger-unusable buses and replace them with the new ones,” he said, adding that the new buses would be equipped with the company’s new logo. (ask/nfo)(+++)
