jfid – The “Buy The Service” (BTS) program has emerged as a pivotal initiative in advancing e-bus development in Indonesia.
By providing full subsidies to e-bus operators, the program aims to enhance charging infrastructure availability, service quality, public awareness of eco-friendly transportation, while reducing operational costs and greenhouse gas emissions (GHG).
According to the Ministry of Transportation, BTS not only enhances the availability of charging infrastructure crucial for e-bus operations but also offers significant incentives for operators to improve their service quality.
“Subsidies from the BTS program allow us to focus on fleet maintenance and enhancing services to users,” said an anonymous e-bus operator.
The program has successfully increased public awareness of sustainable transportation.
Integrated campaigns with BTS have reshaped public perceptions, making e-buses a preferred eco-friendly transportation option.
Economically, BTS delivers substantial benefits by lowering transportation costs for the general public.
With full subsidies for e-bus operators, the cost of using public transport becomes more affordable, alleviating economic burdens on urban residents.
Another positive impact is e-buses’ contribution to improving urban air quality by reducing GHG emissions.
This helps maintain better air quality and reduces air pollution in urban environments.
With full support from central and regional governments, BTS is not just a temporary solution for urban transportation but a significant step towards eco-friendly and sustainable transportation in Indonesia.
This news highlights how the BTS program not only impacts e-bus technology and infrastructure development but also enhances social, economic, and environmental aspects in Indonesia.
