Why Jakarta?\u00a0Busworld decided to land in Jakarta because of two main reasons, Busworld highlights in a press release.\u00a0First of all, Indonesia is a country with a big population \u2013 260 million people – that likes to use the bus<\/strong>. A lot of people implies a lot of vehicles<\/strong>. Indonesia is continuously improving the public transport system<\/strong> with for example a Bus Rapid Transit system in Jakarta, Yogyakarta, Solo and other provinces. This creates a huge potential for the bus manufacturers, together with the fact that the current bus fleet is old and needs to be renewed urgently. The Ministry of Transportation is in the process of regulating the maximum age. \nSecondly, Indonesia is actively aiming to reach 20 million visitors by the end of 2019. Coach tourism<\/strong> is the next big thing in Indonesia. Since 2016 coach operators also started to introduce double decker coaches.\u00a0Again, a lot of tourists means a lot of vehicles. According to Busworld’s press release, some sources are talking about 5,000 new coaches in 2019<\/strong>.<\/p>\nThe Busworld Academy Conference<\/h2>\n Even for the very first edition in Jakarta, Busworld Academy wants to start with a bang. It has foreseen a long list of prominent partners and speakers for the 3-day-programme called \u201cMaking bus transport systems attractive, efficient and affordable in South East Asia<\/strong>\u201d.\u00a0The programme is aimed at operators, authorities, schools, research and development departments, etc. Everybody that is active in the bus and coach industry and eager to know what is going on today and tomorrow has a place here. The programme consists of a normal cocktail of international and local best cases and issues that are presented to and discussed with the participants. The vision of Busworld Academy is to inform and be informed with the final goal to help developing the bus and coach operations and businesses around the world. This time in South East Asia.<\/p>\nA new partner for Busworld Academy<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

One of the newest partners of Busworld Academy is UCLG ASPAC<\/strong>.

On 20 March, they will moderate the \u201cSouth-East Asian Mayor’s Forum\u201d, where several mayors will have a panel discussion about sustainable mobility. \nAnother unmissable event is the CEO round table, moderated by Busworld Academy and chaired by Budi Setiyadi, General Director of Land Transport in the Ministry of Transport.
