Busway operator to make route safer

The Jakarta Post | JAKARTA: Busway operator PT TransBatavia is considering building more crossing bridges on the Harmoni-Kalideres route for pedestrians' safety.
City administration secretary Ritola Tasmaya said Friday that a number of proposals had been made by consortium members -- including the administration -- but no decision was reached.
"We are still not sure what to build, maybe more crossing bridges so people can cross the road safely," he said.

A pedestrian, Wawan Dharmawan, died Thursday after being hit by a busway bus.
It was the third fatal accident involving a busway bus on the route since it opened in January.
"Keeping the busway operating and road users safe are both priorities," Ritola said. --JP
