Kopaja Bus

Route 63, Depok to Blok M. Hold on tight.

Green and white, always full, never quite stopping. The Kopaja was built for 25 passengers and regularly carried twice that, with a driver who treated traffic signs as suggestions. If you rode one, you remember the door that never closed. Now you can build one that sits still.

How to build

From flat to finished

01Print every sheet at actual size on 160–200 gsm paper.
02Score the fold lines with an empty ballpoint and a ruler before you cut.
03Cut along the solid lines. Where the legend shows a star, cut a hole.
04Fold, then glue part by part in number order, holding each tab until it grips.
05Let it dry before you play with it.
