BRT Banjarbakula

BRT Banjarbakula, also informally known as "Tayo bus",[2] is a bus rapid transit (BRT) system serving Greater Banjarmasin metropolitan area, encompassing Banjarmasin, Banjarbaru, and parts of Banjar Regency in Indonesia.[3] It comprises three routes and more than 37 bus stops as of 2019.[3] After several months of trials with free service, it launched on 14 August 2019 to coincide with the celebration of 69 years since the creation of South Kalimantan province.[4] The local government plans to expand the system to 6 routes and a total of 112 bus stops, encompassing the entire Banjar regency, Tanah Laut regency, and Barito Kuala regency; covering the entire metropolitan area with service.[5][6] The government is also considering handing operations to a private firm in 2021 to boost its development.[6] As of September 2020, recruitment of new drivers for the service was stalled because of the COVID-19 pandemic, hampering route and fleet expansion needed to keep up with demand.[7]
