JAKARTA - The Head of the Public Relations and CSR Department of PT Transjakarta Wibowo acknowledged that the planned difference in passenger rate arrangements according to economic status and ID cards has not yet been implemented. According to Wibowo, the Transjakarta bus service rates distinguished in the account based ticketing (ABT) or account-based systems still need to be studied further. "While arrangements based on economic status and ID cards have not been applied. Of course, studies need to be implemented in the program," said Wibowo to reporters, Monday, September 25. Wibowo emphasized that the decision to implement the ABT system on Transjakarta tickets whose rates vary based on the classification of Jakarta's economic status and Jakarta ID cards or outside Jakarta is the authority of the DKI Provincial Government. "The Transjakarta Tariff is still Rp3,500. For the change in tariff is under the authority of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government," said Wibowo. Previously, the Head of the DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency, Syafrin Liputo, said that his party would start a trial of the application of account-based ticket purchases or account-based ticketing (ABT) on MRT Jakarta, LRT Jakarta, and Transjakarta in the near future. The ABT system will be implemented through the Jaklingko application. Syafrin admitted that the feature of purchasing this account-based ticket has been carried out internally. The implementation had encountered an internal trial. "So last week, we did a trial. Indeed, yesterday when we conducted a trial of several technical constraints whose nature is minor and has been implemented by Jaklingko Indonesia's friends, "said Syafrin to reporters, Friday, September 15.

Syafrin said, one of the objectives of the implementation of ABT is to streamline the subsidies provided by the DKI Provincial Government. Later, the DKI Provincial Government will provide subsidies according to the big data collected. "From this ABT, we get the profiling of all our mass transportation users, whether it is Transjakarta, MRT, and LRT, which is then the basis for calculations for the efficiency and effectiveness of the implementation of PSO (subsidy) in the future," he said.
