About PO Bus EPA STAR

PO EPA STAR, under the banner of PT Eka Permata Agung, is headquartered in the R. Sukamto area, Palembang, South Sumatra, and was established in 2010 by H. Afrinaldi. Initially, the company was engaged in freight transportation services using trucks. Seeing the growing interest in tourist trips in Palembang and its surroundings, the founder expanded passenger transport services by providing tourism buses and then intercity interprovincial (AKAP) buses.

Over time, EPA STAR continues to add types of services, including car rentals, lodging, courier services, tourism trips, and of course regular and premium buses. EPA STAR's operational area covers strategic routes in Sumatra and Java, such as popular routes between Palembang, Padang, Bukittinggi, Sekayu, Jambi, Payakumbuh, Tanjung Enim, up to regions in Jakarta and Bandung on Java Island.

An interesting fact about EPA STAR is that almost all of its fleets, especially for the AKAP class, are built by Tentrem body builders from Malang with high-quality chassis like Volvo B11R. In 2024, they launched the newest double-decker bus which becomes an icon of comfort and luxury across Sumatra-Java.

The service values that EPA STAR upholds include safety, comfort, eco-friendliness (with fleets adhering to Euro 5 emission standards), and delivering hospitality with a family approach. EPA STAR is known to provide a premium travel experience, both for tourism and regular long-distance transportation needs, with a good reputation in the eyes of passengers: the fleet is always clean, professional drivers, and facilities in line with the ticket price.
