  TransJakarta or commonly called Busway is a bus rapid transport system or the Bus Rapid Transit in Jakarta, Indonesia. The system is modeled after the successful TransMilenio system in Bogota, Colombia. Busway Planning started in 1997 by the British Consultants. At that time the bus went against the traffic flow (contra-flow, so that the path is not being used by other vehicle), but the decision was changed in the direction of traffic because of considerations of traffic safety. Although Busway in Jakarta mimic other cities in other countries (Columbia, Japan, Australia), but Jakarta has the longest routes. Each trip costs 3500 rupiah.
