"For motorcycles Rp. 250,000, four wheels Rp. 500,000 are fined a maximum," he said. In its implementation, the DKI Jakarta Environmental Agency will be involved. Those who will test vehicle exhaust emissions. "Because those who have the tools are from them. Now we will help with the ticketing, later the equipment will be in the Department of Environment and later we will work together," he said.

"We'll see later because Jakarta can't be like in other areas in Jakarta. We can stop at the road and ask for forgiveness. We must look for a place, an area that can be used to carry out the inspection," said Latif.
