MY JOURNEY WITH KRAMAT DJATI

 On 15th September 2015, I went to Surabaya with this bus. Kramat Djati is the name of the bus company that quite famous in Indonesia. I knew this since I was in the younger years. Only with IDR 290.000/person for the ticket from Jakarta to Surabaya.

The problem now is the big bus like this is now allowed to passing through the city so we have to transit from Grogol terminal to Lebak Bulus on the South Jakarta using a transit bus but I wasn't go to that terminal but went directly to the pool of Kramat Djati on Kramat Jati Road on East Jakarta.

Cikopo Freeway Gate

On around 2.30 pm, The bus arrived at the pool and bring all passengers with it. The road in the city was hectic because of the police had a program to checking the papers of the drivers whose through the road near the pool.

Then we went to the newest freeway in the Java island, from Cikopo to Palimanan or in short we call it Cipali Freeway. because in quite new, the side of the the roads are just dirt and some trees. The freeway is quite long with some exits, we passed it around 2,5 hours till we reached Palimanan gate.

Palimanan Freeway Gate

The Freeway is very smooth without any holes on the road maybe because it's still new and the road is also not too packed because I went on weekday so it quite empty.

Not quite far from the Gate, we arrived at the food station site where we have our dinner and the dinner is included in the ticket's price. Even the food is not the best of them but it really stuffed our tummy since we can add rice and food as many as we want.

Back to the bus and we drove to Tuban city to take some break and I like this bus service so much, the drivers are great on handling the bus and not made too many hard turns or sudden breaks, not smoking or speak too loud and all the way I slept with smile.
I very recommended this bus company, maybe their buses are not the newest model but love how the driver manners and the bus is quite tough to brought on this quite far journey.
