IPB University bus adds two routes, free for students and staff, reaching Sukabumi
IPB University's si Bolang bus now runs two new routes linking its Darmaga campus, Bogor city sites and its Sukabumi vocational school, free for students, lecturers and education staff.
Why it matters: IPB students, lecturers and education staff moving between Darmaga, Bogor city and the Sukabumi vocational school can use two new bus routes at no charge.
IPB University said its si Bolang bus (Bus Operasional Langganan, a subscription operational bus) now serves Darmaga, Bogor city and the Sukabumi site of its School of Vocational Studies free of charge for students, lecturers and education staff.
According to the university, a new Darmaga–Bogor city route runs Monday to Friday from 06.00 to 18.00 Western Indonesian Time with five return trips a day, passing Bogor Station, the Science Techno Park at Taman Kencana and the School of Business before ending at the School of Vocational Studies.
A second new route links the vocational school's Bogor and Sukabumi sites via the Bocimi toll road on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, departing Bogor at 05.00 and Sukabumi at 16.00, the university said.
The university said its new vehicles have disability-friendly facilities, a driver drowsiness alarm, a cabin cigarette-smoke sensor and real-time GPS tracking linked to the IPB Mobile app, and that passengers are limited to the IPB community and alumni.
