Commercial buses are an important means of transportation for transporting large numbers of passengers and their belongings, and are a type of commercial vehicle that operate within or between cities. Indonesia has a large population and a large area, and there is a great demand for commercial buses in metropolitan areas or in rural areas with poor infrastructure.
Indonesia’s well-developed tourism industry attracts many tourists to visit Indonesia every year. Bus travel is a popular and affordable way to visit Indonesia, and with bus connections to most major towns and cities, it is very convenient for tourists and the demand for road passenger transportation is growing. And with Indonesia’s regional economic development, more investment in infrastructure construction, and gradual improvement in road conditions, the Indonesian bus industry has great potential for future growth.

In 2022, Indonesia received 4.6 million visitors, just 28% of the 16 million visitors it will receive in 2019. As the economy recovers and tourism is gradually recovering, CRI expects Indonesia’s visitor arrivals to grow rapidly in 2023.
From 2018 to 2022, according to CRI’s analysis, the number of buses in operation in Indonesia shows an overall rising trend with a CAGR of 2.00% from 2018 to 2022, which indicates that the net increase in buses in Indonesia has been positive every year for the last five years, and the number of buses in operation has been increasing year by year. at the end of 2022, the number of buses in operation in Indonesia is 241,000, an increase of 1.54% year-on-year.

According to CRI, the number of buses in use will reach US$ 271.53 thousand in 2032 and the CAGR in 2023 to 2032 is 1.2%?

The Indonesian government is developing extensive infrastructure development plans, especially road transportation related infrastructure development. In recent years, public transportation in Jakarta and its surrounding areas has grown rapidly, doubling in the past two years. This is bound to have some impact on the ecological environment of the city, so the Indonesian government intends to focus on the electric transportation industry to reduce the environmental impact of heavy traffic commuting. The Ministry of Transportation expects to put in 41,000 electric buses, and the first phase is expected to put in 1,000 volumes of electric buses per year.

In addition, according to CRI, by 2030, the Indonesian government is expected to invest a total of $450 billion in infrastructure projects, including toll roads, new intercity highways (Trans-Javanese, Trans-Sumatra, Trans-Sulawesi, Trans-Kalimantan, Trans-Papua), BRT systems, railroad projects (MRT, LRT, High and High Speed Rail), new airports, new ports, etc. This will contribute to the development of Indonesia’s transportation sector, especially land transport.
