Bank Jakarta to provide up to Rp5.07 trillion for Transjakarta electric buses

Transjakarta, Jakarta’s public bus operator, is set to receive financing support from Bank Jakarta for 3,782 electric buses.

The funding could reach Rp5.07 trillion, and the agreement has a three-year term.

The plan is part of Jakarta’s effort to shift public transport to electric vehicles and reduce emissions.

The agreement was signed in Jakarta on Monday, 12 October.

Bank Jakarta also agreed to support other projects, including a pedestrian deck near Dukuh Atas MRT station, but those are separate from the bus funding.

Jakarta’s governor said public agencies and companies need to turn their agreements into practical projects with clear targets.

The bus financing is intended to help expand the city’s electric fleet; the information provided does not specify when the buses will be delivered.

What people are saying

Jakarta's development cannot be carried out separately; it requires synergy from the entire city ecosystem.

The measure of our success is not how many agreements are signed, but how much benefit Jakarta residents feel from this cooperation.
