The Jakarta Transportation Agency is holding a tender to select a consortium to operate the four new busway corridors.

Agency head Nurachman said Tuesday the evaluation of the bidders' credibility and performance was still underway.

"Only one will be named the winner. It will operate corridors 4 to 7, including the management of personnel and busway operations and maintenance," Nurachman said.

The four new corridors, to be launched on January 27, will link Pulogadung in East Jakarta with Dukuh Atas in Central Jakarta; Kampung Melayu in East Jakarta with Ancol in North Jakarta; Ragunan in South Jakarta with Kuningan in Central Jakarta; and Kampung Rambutan in East Jakarta with Kampung Melayu in East Jakarta.
