First Day Odd-Even, 1,062 Vehicles Ticketed

JAKARTA - Head of the DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency, Syafrin Liputo, said that there were 1,062 four-wheeled vehicles that violated the odd-even rule on the first day of action, Monday, August 10.

"In the action against odd-even violations on August 10, there were 619 vehicles received manual tickets and 443 e-TLE ticketing vehicles, bringing the total to 1,062 vehicles," Syafrin told reporters, Tuesday, August 11.

Meanwhile, since the start of the odd-even socialization which began on Monday, August 3 to Friday, August 7, Syafrin said there was a decrease in traffic volume on 25 odd-even roads, between 2.47 percent and 4.63 percent.

Then, during the socialization period, the traffic speed on odd-even roads increased between 1.36 and 16.36 percent.

Then, the number of public transport passengers such as Transjakarta, MRTJ, LRTJ, KRL, and Airport Train has increased between 0.64 percent to 6.25 percent.

Syafrin explained that the current odd-even application objective is different from the normal period. If in normal time, odd-even is expected to move people from private vehicles to public transportation.

Meanwhile, during the current COVID-19 pandemic, the odd-even policy has become an instrument of controlling people's movements.

"This controls so that the mobility of residents is not high, so that there will be no crowds or crowds at activity centers. That's what we expect," said Syafrin.

Therefore, with the odd-even events during the corona virus outbreak, Syafrin hopes that many companies will have more protocol stages for operating their business premises during the transitional PSBB period.

Among other things, limiting the capacity of employees who work in offices by 50 percent, implementing a shift system or division of working hours, and allowing employees to work from home or work from home.

"For residents who already have a schedule to work from home, please work from home, do not then do mobility that creates crowds. And this is not good for us together who are trying to overcome the COVID-19 pandemic," explained Syafrin.
