Enjoying Transjakarta Bus

It is Wednesday. It was a special holiday for offices in Jakarta because this day was election day to elect the couple of governor and vice governor for Jakarta.

I used this opportunity to explore Jakarta via its public transport named Busway that operated by Transjakarta. The Transjakarta is a provincial government owned company.

I started from the office. At 12:00 I got in a mikrolet number 14 to get me at the Simpang Rambutan. I paid Rp3.000. I continued by getting in a mikrolet number 12. I paid Rp4.000 as I got off in the Terminal of Kampung Rambutan.

About 5 minutes later I was in a busway bus route 7 (Kampung Rambutan - Kampung Melayu). The fee was Rp3.500 to get in the busway space. It was paid electronically using a card. We have get into the space once and we may go anywhere. The bus was clean and air conditioned. At the PGC (Pusat Grossir Cililitan) bus stop I got off to change the bus to route 7B (PGC - Ancol). I got off at the Senen Sentral bus stop then exited from the space.

I walked along Jalan Kramat and I stopped at a padangese food stall named Bukittinggi Nasi Kapau. I checked in and ordered rice and fish curry. It was nice. At a tent nearby I noticed the election committee of ballots collection Senen 9 was counting the ballot. After paying off the food, Rp21.000) I went to the tent just curious.

I went back again to the Senen Sentral bus stop, I went to the Terminal Pulogadung.
