Transjakarta is eyeing to operate 50 percent electric buses by 2027.

Jakarta Acting Governor Heru Budi Hartono previously set a target of adding 400 electric buses by 2025. In 2023, at least 190 more electric buses will be in operation to improve the city's air quality, bringing the total to 220.

Apart from Transjakarta electric buses, the city administration is also keen to open more Public Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (SPKLU) in South Jakarta and Central Jakarta as these two areas have a lot of offices, schools, and other activity centers.

This is actually pretty old news. The latest news is that TransJakarta actually just added 200 units of EV buses (I can't find any news about this from English publication sadly) [1]. Making the total EV buses in operation 300 units.

As a context, there are two kinds of TransJakarta buses: high-deck/BRT and low-deck/non-BRT. Previously, TransJakarta added low-deck buses in Jakarta back in 2022. This year they are planning to add the high-deck version of EV buses for the first time. As far as I know, the new buses will be in operation just in time on christmas this year.
