City Transport and City Bus

For transportation within the city, the people of Bandung usually use city transportation or what is more
familiarly called angkot. In addition, city buses and taxis are also a means of transportation in this
city. Meanwhile, as an intercity and provincial bus terminal in this city, there are Leuwipanjang terminal
for the west route and the Cicaheum terminal for the east route. Point-to-point travel between Bandung-
Jakarta has its own pool, but all travel also has a pool at the Pasteur Channel, the road to the Bandung-
Jakarta toll road. On September 24, 2009, TMB (Trans Metro Bandung) officially started operating, despite
protests from local angkot drivers. This TMB is a project of the Bandung city government in providing mass
transportation services at low prices, guaranteed facilities and comfort and on time to the destination.
