Transjakarta wants 10,000 electric buses in service by 2030


JAKARTA: City-owned bus operator Transjakarta has an ambitious plan to expand its electric bus (e-bus) fleet to 10,000 units over the decade as Jakarta, a city with one of the world’s worst air pollution, tries to push for cleaner air.

Transjakarta’s facilities planning and standardisation lead, Candra Rakhmat, said the company planned to kick off the expansion by adding 100 new electric buses in 2021, so that electric vehicles would comprise 3% of the total fleet.
