In his statement, TUMI assessed that Anies had carried out transportation development, including bus services and plans to build a large bicycle path up to 63 kilometers in Jakarta.
Jakarta has worked towards creating transportation that is fair, affordable, and inclusive for all.
Before the COVID-19 pandemic, Anies also saw the Jakarta transportation system to be transformative and mutually integrated.
"In the midst of the smog in the city, he tried the opportunity to launch an operational plan for trolleybuses and renovation of a public transport station that is directly connected to the commuter train station".
In addition, Jakarta also won the 2020 Sustainable Transport Award (STA) from the Institute for Transportation & Development Policy (ITDP).
Meanwhile, TUMI explained, Elon Musk received this award thanks to the development of the electric vehicle and clean energy company, Tesla. We hope, Elon Musk can create multiple transportations with the same technology.
