Jakarta – The Banten Province Transportation Service (Dishub) said that Trans Banten is in demand to the point that there are passengers who are not transported. As a result, they will change the bus model to be similar to those used by Transjakarta. “Yesterday afternoon, not all passengers of Untirta Sindangangsari were transported because the bus capacity was too small,” said Friday (10/10/2025), head of transport service, Tri Nurtopo. Browse to continue with the content, the buses used are medium -long model buses with 37 seats. The bus does not provide much room for passengers to stand. Tri also said he coordinated with Damri as the operator to change the bus model. He wants urban buses to transport more passengers. “We therefore coordinate to replace medium long buses with large buses with 28 seats and stand for about 40 people, similar to Transjakarta buses,” Tri said. According to Tri, the Banten provincial government will continue to use two buses during the free trial until the end of the year. The waiting time for the bus is about one hour. “Our focus is now on changing the size of the buses first, and not increasing the number of fleet. The number of fleet per hour will still remain the same, but the two existing units will be replaced by larger buses so they can accommodate more passengers,” he said. Meanwhile, general manager of Perum Damri Serang, Maman Suparman, said the average number of passengers by bus travel was 27 people. However, there are certain times in the morning and evening where there is a density of passengers. “So there are several times, yes. Some times there are nails, especially at certain hours. Normal times are standard, yes. But at certain times it is very extraordinary. Even up to 60-70 people of a capacity of 37,” he said.
