busway

There were a few things I would like to do today, actually. First, I wanted to go to see Mbak Meta’s hubby Bang Iqbal at Hotel Oasis Amir in Senen. Second, go to Glodok for Mbak Sali’s flash disc as well as looking for CD cases and new DVDs. Third, go to Crown Plaza to visit Netherlands Education Expo. Since I was taking the Trans Jakarta bus (busway) and didn’t pay attention to how I walked, my feet were getting hurt. Funny thing about the Trans Jakarta bus, most of the passenger (like me) doesn’t know what to do when they reach Harmoni. And Harmoni station is quite a mess since it is under construction to become the central station for busway. Therefore, if we want to go to Blok M or Kota, we have to change from corridor 3 to corridor 1 in Sawah Besar. And if we want to go to Pulogadung, we have to change from corridor 3 to corridor 2 in Pecenongan, at least until the construction in Harmoni finish. The operators were fairly strict. Repeatedly they remind us to stay in queue and most of us followed their instruction. But still, there were too many passenger but too rare of the bus.

The last bus is on 22.00
