A Must Have Apps for Jakarta Commuters

 You shall pass

*Gandalf*

It is easy to go using public transport in Jakarta, as long as you comutter card in hand with enough balance. 

Trains? KRL or commuter line jabodetabek is only Rp 3000 or 3500 for one trip.

Bus? Busway or Transjakarta is same Rp 3000 or Rp 3500, it depend on tariff hour.

And sometime there is only Rp 1 on special occasion or even free at all like free for women, yesterday at 21 April. Yes, kartini day.


 So, what card can use as payment method?

Flazz bca, emoney mandiri and multi trip card from KAI itself, just to name a few. 

Do not forget some phone app that support for payment!

This become handly when you forgot to brought your card. 

KAI Access and Transjakarta app available at playstore or appstore. Sure there are some limitation like you can not use them for non-BRT or non-regular busway which only support cards.

Anyway, they may become life saver when card is not available with you.

A dashboard for monitoring business

After handed over an application for electronic topup, a challange must face.

This project not have some kind of transaction monitoring, just provide email alerts :(

It's out of scope and we have to build ourself, as usual.

Ok no problem, sounds like another dashboard need to freely properly build with one caveat. It should capture business, not only system monitoring.

Based on available logs, a dashboard created to picture average easy to digest by non-IT people but knows about number and business processes. Here we go.

Elasticsearch to grafana style:     

I think this is easy enough to understand without digging into detail, just lookup at upper most line. Someone with sales in mind could interpreted almost right, I bet.
