This was my experience with personal projects too.

Unit tests hinder progress so much. End-to-end/integration tests are often flaky.

The thing is, I still want to test my own project, because it's a good idea to validate whether or not your code works or not...

You're right, for example you have to pay to use Kanmon Tunnel

(already had a feeling that someone will say this)

I won't delete my posts/comments because I want to be helpful, that's it.

But if I prefer deleting my posts/comments, I will archive it instead.

I respect what r/ArtFundamentals did, and it should be an example: After reddit's APIpocalypse, they don't support reddit and decided to close the subreddit. But the advices from the subreddit wasn't gone--in fact they actually archive it in their own website:

flixbus exist, which i don’t even understand how they have ridership when they run routes parallel to railways that take like twice as long while obviously being less comfortable…

Would you mind explaining more? How's Flixbus?

This bus stop is one of the major stops in Transjakarta network--arguably the biggest BRT (bus rapid transit) in the world.

On the top of the bus stop there's a commercial area and a viewing deck, where you can see amazing view of Selamat Datang Monument, visible in the photo.

To access the viewing deck and the commerce area, you need to go through the ticket gate. This way you can familiarize and attracts people to use Transjakarta.


If you didn't know, Jakarta is the most populated province in the most populated island in the earth, Java Island. This fact, combined with the very lack of public transportation, making it has one of the worst car traffic in the world. So much so that Indonesia's government decided to move its capital to Nusantara, Borneo Island, to reduce centralization on Java Island.

That doesn't make it Jakarta stop being developed, many people get this part wrong.

Just last year, 2023, Jakarta got another addition of public transportation named LRT Jabodetabek, serving from Central of Jakarta to outskirts of Jakarta--Bekasi and (almost) Bogor. In addition to that, working together with CRRC from China, Indonesia launched Whoosh, the first high-speed railway in the Southeast Asia and in the southern hemisphere, connecting Jakarta to Bandung, another big city in West Java.

There are also many public transportation projects in the work, such as MRT Jakarta phase 2, continuing from Bundaran HI to Kota Tua, Jakarta's old town located in Northern Jakarta. There is also LRT Jakarta phase 1B (not to be confused with LRT Jabodebek, easy mistake to make) connecting the LRT Jakarta to the rest of Jakarta's transportation network. INKA, working together with Nippon Sharyo, I heard is making trainsets for regional railways. CRRC (China) also making another too.

Honestly, as a Jakartan, this gives me a hope to the city. What was once a car-centric city could be city that are friendly for everyone. The roads towards that is gonna be shaky and it's gonna take a while, but in the end it's gonna be worth it.


Thank you for reading, sorry for posting lots of Jakarta in the slrpnk.net--I previously complained that the whole Fediverse feels very centralized on USA. I though I was gonna give a shot on exposing my ~~invisible giant~~ country.

I also made [email protected], feel free to visit and post about the public transportation in your city!

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.
