History

PO EZRI founded in the middle of 1967 with an initial capital of 2 units of the Ford Metcek fleet (designation at that time, with the type of body such as Adi Putro or Morodadi Prima bodybuilder).

Beginning to open a transportation business, the company from Pekalongan serves its first route, Tegal - Pekalongan - Semarang.

In the hands of Lo Sien Tong (better known as Mr. Tong) and Kereen Indrawati, which were originally with 2nd Ford fleet, the fleet continues to grow to 8 units, all of which are still Ford.

Expansion was carried out, the Jakarta - Jogjakarta route became a mainstay. Over time, the PO, which stands for Elingo Zaman Revolusi Indonesia / Remember of the Indonesian Revolutionary Period (Javanese: Elingo = Remember), has expanded its routes outside the province.

The developing routes are Cirebon - Surabaya - Malang, Tegal - Kepanjen, Jakarta - Pekalongan, Jakarta - Semarang, Jakarta - Solo, Jakarta - Jogja, and Bogor - Klaten.

The name EZRI can also be interpreted as one of the names of the heavenly birds according to the bible.

As for the philosophical Elingo Zaman Revolusi Indonesia it all cannot be separated from the struggle of the EZRI founding parents who maintained Indonesian citizenship.

Not only the Otobus Company, EZRI also has another business, namely batik printing characteristic of Pekalongan such as long cloth (jarit), sarong, baby scarf with various motifs, bright colors and excellent quality.

Acquiring the Colby Persada

In 1997, PO. EZRI acquired PO. Colby Persada at that time went bankruptcy. Then formalize the PO. Colby Persada became the "biological younger brother" of PO. EZRI.

Since then, both of them began to add distant routes namely Bandung - Malang and Bandung - Denpasar. Entering 2001, the development was very rapid, it was proven by the arrival of 4th Scania K124ib.

The 4 Scania consist of 1 automatic unit, 3 manual units (already covered with a disc). The matic in the Morodadi Prima Carroseries bodybuilding has been sold to Tunggal Daya (tourism coach), the rest which have Adiputro's body are sold to Shantika bus company.

Was present serving the route Bandung - Denpasar in 2009, before finally 4th Scania fleets were sold at once.

It's been half a century PO. EZRI deals in the world of Indonesian transportation. It is a matter of pride for the citizens of the City of Batik Pekalongan that made the number 1 choice bus at that time.[2]

EZRI now

News was heard that now the cooperative relationship between PO EZRI and PO Colby Persada had broken up.

Disbanded in the sense that PO Colby Persada only focuses on tourism coaches in Bandung while PO EZRI is still faithfully serving the Intercity buses until now. And changed its name to EZRI Damai Sejahtera.

The Cirebon - Surabaya - Malang route still operates with a total fleet of approximately 13 bus fleets from the oldest coller and the new one, Hino RK-8.

There are two elective classes, namely executive and super executive. Executive class seat configuration 2 - 2, AC, reclining seat and toilet. Whereas the super executive class has AC facilities, reclining seat configurations 1-2, TV and Toilet.

Ticket purchases can be made at the EZRI Bus Agent in the Cirebon, Pekalongan, Tegal, Semarang, Yogyakarta, Klaten, Malang, Surabaya, Pulo Gadung, Rawa Buaya.

Not only in Intercity bus es, PO EZRI also survived by spreading its wings on the rental of tourism bus services. With a choice of 59/55/50/45/38/31/21 configuration seat, air-conditioning facilities with or without a toilet.

Even so, PO EZRI has never been recorded as having a fatal accident though. This makes one of the appreciations that Pekalongan residents should be proud of.[3]
