Transjakarta

It’s the transJakarta, a unique concept in public transportation I had never seen implemented anywhere else. Jakarta has no subway system. It has the transJakarta. The transJakarta is a bus system. The picture is of a station on the system. The stations are in the middle of the street and you get to them via an overhead walkway across the lanes of traffic. The unique thing about the transJarka is that the buses have their own lanes next to the median and no ther traffic is allowed in it, thus they aren’t hampered by other traffic, only by the traffic signals themselves. The system works really well, they just need a few more buses to make the system really, really efficient.
