Governor of DKI Will Bill for Improved Services to the New Transjakarta Managing Director in the Next Three Months

JAKARTA - The Governor of DKI Jakarta Heru Budi Hartono will evaluate the performance of the President Director of PT Transportasi Jakarta (Transjakarta), M. Kuncoro Wibowo, who was newly appointed during his first three months in office.

"There must be an increase, the target is in the next three months. You will be billed again in the next three months," said Heru when met in the Ragunan area, South Jakarta, Friday, January 13.

The increase that Heru meant was optimizing services, increasing the number of bus fleets to accommodate more passengers, and minimizing the number of accidents involving the Transjakarta fleet.

"The hope is to reduce accidents, drivers must be safe. Continue to be disciplined, and service. I have already said that the service will be increased. For example, during busy times, in the morning, afternoon, and evening, there will be more Transjakarta buses," said Heru.

As is known, Heru removed Mochammad Yana Aditya from the position of Managing Director of Transjakarta as of January 11. Yana was previously appointed as Managing Director of Transjakarta in November 2021 by the former Governor of DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan.

His replacement, Heru appointed Kuncoro to lead the DKI BUMD in the transportation sector. Kuncoro's appointment was made through a decision of the shareholders outside the GMS which was signed on January 11, 2023.

Kuncoro was previously the Managing Director of PT Bandha Ghara Reksa (BGR) Logistics, a BUMN subsidiary of PT Indonesian Trading Company (PT PPI), since September 2018. Kuncoro also served as Director of Commercial and Information Technology at PT Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI) from September 2016 until August 2017.

It was noted that Kuncoro also served as Director of Human Resources, General Affairs, and Information Technology at PT KAI from June 2012 to September 2016, as well as IT expert staff at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) from August 2017 to August 2018.

Plt. Head of DKI Jakarta Regional Owned Enterprise Development Agency (BP BUMD), Fitria Rahadiani, revealed that Kuncoro's work experience in managing transportation services at PT KAI became one of Heru's considerations in appointing her as the new Transjakarta leader.

"The policy of appointing M. Kuncoro Wibowo as Main Director of PT Transportasi Jakarta who has work experience in company transformation, one of which is at PT KAI (Persero), is expected to be able to make PT Transportasi Jakarta a catalyst for integration and strengthen internal systems for security, comfort, and safety of public transportation," explained Fitria.
