He said TransJakarta has made several preparations, including visiting five islands, namely Pari, Pramuka, Panggang, Kelapa, and Harapan islands, some time ago.
"We also met with operators and traditional boat business owners. Their hope is that, drawing on the system that exists on land, there could be opportunities for cooperation with traditional boat operators," Yuza said here on Thursday.
From the visit, he said, Transjakarta gathered various public aspirations, including expanding service coverage and frequency, inter-island connectivity, ease of ticket purchases, improved safety standards, and governance of the traditional boat business.
Transjakarta is also preparing a strategic study covering regulatory aspects, operational models, human resources, port management, transition schemes and business models, market and demand analysis, as well as financial projections and social conditions.
In the initial stage, Transjakarta will optimize assets owned by the Jakarta Transportation Office, including boats, docks, and port facilities.
In addition, improvements to the ticketing system and service technology will be made to enhance service quality.
For long-term development, Transjakarta said it is considering a hub-and-spoke pattern, in which large-capacity boats serve main routes from Jakarta to certain islands, followed by feeder boats to other islands.
According to him, service development will target not only passenger mobility, but also logistics and tourism.
Transjakarta will also explore supporting businesses beyond ticket revenue, such as port management, logistics, and tourism.
"This is to strengthen long-term business sustainability and build financial independence," he said.
